Bergenia ciliata 'Ripple Effect'

Many varieties of bergenia look alike - shiny oval leaves that are green in the growing season, then take on bronzy red tones in the winter. 'Ripple Effect' bergenia is in a class of its own with huge rounded leaves that can grow up to 13 inches across and unlike its cousins, has wavy, serrated edges. This one is also unique in that it is deciduous, dying down after fall freeze, then reappearing in the in the spring. Tall stalks of white to pink flowers hover above the mound of green foliage in the spring, attracting bees and butterflies. 'Ripple Effect' grows best with shade in the afternoon or all-day dappled sun.
