Bergenia crassifolia, commonly known as Siberian Bergenia or Elephant's Ears due to the shape and texture of its leaves, is a robust perennial plant prized for its ornamental foliage and clusters of delicate flowers.
Its large, leathery leaves form dense rosettes, creating attractive ground cover and adding visual interest to garden beds.
The foliage varies in color from deep green to shades of bronze or reddish-purple, depending on the cultivar, and it often turns striking shades of red or burgundy in colder weather.
The flowers bloom on tall stalks above the foliage, providing a burst of pink color in early spring.
This combination of hardy foliage and early blooms makes it a popular choice for domestic gardens.
