‘Magic Giant’ is a large-leaved Bergenia with glossy green foliage that develops red tones in winter and prominent pale pink flowers on red stems. The [Royal Horticultural Society’s cultivar profile](https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/186919/bergenia-magic-giant/details) lists the closely matching name ‘Eden’s Magic Giant’ and describes its large foliage and spring flowers.
## Landscape use
Use this broad-leaved perennial in a mixed border or as a low foliage ground cover, where its rounded leaves contrast with finer-textured plants. The RHS synonym is included here to help connect the selection with its profile.
## Foliage and flowers
The large leaves are glossy green through much of the growing season and can take on red winter tones. Pale pink flowers with deeper pink shading appear on red stems in spring. Color and flowering vary with site and weather.
## Siting and soil
Provide sun or partial shade and soil that retains moisture while draining well. Bergenias adapt to a range of soils; avoid persistently wet ground and water through prolonged dry periods, particularly during establishment.
## Maintenance
Remove damaged foliage after winter and cut back spent flower stems. Divide an older clump if it becomes crowded.
