The huge leaves have a distinctive crumpled ruffled appearance with prominent light green veins. Tinges of purple occur in the winter months. The flowers are rose-pink and are borne in panicles on a tall robust stem. Responding well to a deep moist humus-rich soil, Bergenia &#8216;Eden&#8217;s Magic Giant&#8217; slowly forms a large clumping colony, its large foliage taking on a startlingly exotic presence particularly when used in a jungle context with suitably inspired planting combinations. Those that think Bergenia is just a fusty and boring old plant suitable only for low-maintenance suburban bedding would do well to experiment with this large-leaved cultivar. Planting combinations using more obviously exotic plants like bamboos, aroids, gingers and ferns will produce surprising and pleasingly stylish results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pot size : 2L<\/li>\n<li>Position: Partial shade<\/li>\n<li>Soil:\u00a0moist, retentive soil<\/li>\n<li>Rate of growth:\u00a0average<\/li>\n<li>Flowering period: Spring<\/li>\n<li>Hardiness:\u00a0fully hardy<\/li>\n<li>Eventual height &amp; spread: 60-80cm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big varnished rosettes of firm, extra large rounded evergreen foliage beam purplish bronze colours that indeed work magic on a bleak winter landscape. A verdurous foil the rest of the year, dark green leaves reach up to a 30cm long and 20cm across, while supporting dense rosy pink flower clusters, defined by red centres, white stamens and open starry faces on stout wine-hued stems. Bedazzled with jewel tones and texture galore, this hybrid Bergenia crafts an exceptional, easy-care ground cover for moist poorly drained banks, streamsides or borders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8765,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[95,91,85,37,83,49,87,89,55,93],"product_tag":[171,193,182,199,216,192,180,188,184,198,187,195,189,222,197,196,177,194,190,237],"class_list":{"0":"post-6631","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-plants_a-d","7":"product_cat-autumn_plants","8":"product_cat-featured_plants_for_sale","9":"product_cat-plants_for_sale_a-z","10":"product_cat-seasonal_plants_for_sale","11":"product_cat-plants_in_situ","12":"product_cat-spring_plants","13":"product_cat-summer_plants","14":"product_cat-paddock_plants_for_sale","15":"product_cat-winter_plants","16":"product_tag-architectural","17":"product_tag-buy-plants-online","18":"product_tag-cottage-garden","19":"product_tag-devon-plants-for-sale","20":"product_tag-front-of-border","21":"product_tag-garden-club","22":"product_tag-hardy","23":"product_tag-lewis-cottage","24":"product_tag-longlived","25":"product_tag-moorlander","26":"product_tag-ngs-devon","27":"product_tag-online-plant-sales","28":"product_tag-perennial","29":"product_tag-pink","30":"product_tag-plant-nursery","31":"product_tag-private-garden-tours","32":"product_tag-retentive-soil","33":"product_tag-shade-plants","34":"product_tag-the-garden","35":"product_tag-winter-leaf-colour","37":"first","38":"outofstock","39":"shipping-taxable","40":"purchasable","41":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/6631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6631"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=6631"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=6631"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lewiscottageplants.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=6631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
