Nursery contributed plant descriptions

We suspect this Bergenia has B. ciliata in it's heritage, but we acquired it by an invalid name and are holding off declaring an official name untilwe are certain. It is distinctive for its amazing display of white flowers on red tinted stems in early spring. Rounded green foliage has tiny eyelash-like hairs on the edges.
