Bergenia ciliata

The large, fuzzy leaves, to 12" wide, feel like African violet foliage...or the face of a man with a worn out razor. The low rosette of wonderful foliage is topped in early spring with light pink flowers that sit atop the foliage...a great, bold, textural plant for the open woodland garden.
