elephant's ears 'Eric Smith'

'Eric Smith' is outstanding for its winter leaf colour if not damaged by heavy frost. The crinkled leaves are bronze-tinted above, carmine-red below, held upright, becoming dark red in winter. Purplish-pink flowers may hide under leaves

Bergenia 'Eric Smith' is the number one Bergenia in terms of colour - maybe our favorite Bergenia in our own garden at Ballyrobert.It has the RHS AGM ( Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit).

Eric Smith (1917-1986) was a respected breeder, and this cultivar was named after him when introduced in the 1970s by Beth Chatto. In some seasons the foliage is such a deep red it is almost black! The leaves are upright, the plants form tight clumps and, surrounded by snowdrops, the effect is dramatic.
