Distinguished for the pure white color of its mature blossoms, its amazing floriferous nature, and for its leafy robustness, 'Bressingham White' was bred by British horticulturist Alan Bloom. To create an eye-catching contrast of color and texture, combine this Bergenia's broad leaves with the ferny foliage of Corydalis 'Blue Panda'.
