Bergenia Cordifolia Purpurea
Fagus sylvatica Purpurea
Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea', commonly known as the Copper Beech Tree, grows as a stately, deciduous tree with a broad and spreading crown of colourful, purple foliage. The glossy leaves emerge deep purple in spring, age to purple-green in summer, then develop copper tones in autumn before falling. Left untrimmed, it will grow to about 25 m tall and 18 m wide. Fagus sylvatica 'Purpurea' makes for a lovely specimen, with mature specimens making a dramatic statement in the landscape and providing great summer shade. It is also commonly used for avenue planting, trimmed into a hedge, used for screening, or added to a mixed planting in a large garden.

Bergenia Marshmallow (Bergenia Elephant Ears)
Bergenia Marshmallow is selected for its lush foliage and pretty flowers. The leaves are large and arranged as a somewhat flat rosette. They tend to be glossy green but as temperatures cool, they develop red-bronze tones. Colourful, pale pink flowers are borne from late winter through spring on short stems as it grows to about 30 cm tall and 40 cm wide. Bergenia Marshmallow is a very fashionable and hardy plant that is ideal for border planting or mass planting as a groundcover. It is often used in cottage gardens, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a container.
