An attractive and rarely seen cultivar distributed by Mary McMurtrie, who named it after her nursery of the same name. It may, however, be Bergenia purpurascens 'Irish Crimon'. It forms a neat clump of upright, glossy, dark green leaves with a red fringed margin that turn the most sumptuous red-purple in winter, almost black. Flowers are yet to be observed.

Available from Monksilver Nursery and The Plantsman’s Preference.
