    FABULOUS selection of one of my favorite species, this baby has beautiful clumps of foliage (probably deciduous) with leaves edged with crinkles and fur...total texture mania!! Precious in the woodland garden, well drained moist soil with some summer water. Pink flowers late winter. I never thought Bergenia ciliata could be bettered, but I was wrong! Hardy to at least 10 degrees at least, probably 5 degrees or less! Too new to say. USDA Z7 (at least) 5” pot
