Bergenia ciliata features broad, rounded leaves with hairy undersides, giving them a soft texture. These leaves form a dense rosette at the base. In spring, bergenia ciliata produces pink to red blossoms arranged in robust, eye-catching clusters atop thick stalks, rising well above the foliage. It thrives in rocky, mountainous regions, adapting to cold climates, yet favors well-drained, moist soil.
