Bergenia

Bergenia, also known as Pig Squeak, is a hardy perennial grown for its thick leaves that are green in summer and deeper tones in fall.  Magenta flower spikes appear in Spring.  Though these plants are short, the flowers are showy.   Very pretty when paired with other late spring bloomers (geum, icelandic poppies, turkish veronica, golden creeping jenny).
