Bergenias

Can anyone tell me the name of the large leaved clump forming bergenias? 
I saw a garden on tv last year that had a huge bed of them but didn't say type. Think they would look great in my woodland area.  
Thanks

Do you mean crassifolia synonymous with cordifolia?
B. cilliata is different.

Any other clues as there are so many clump forming cultivars

Don't know Rubytoo. They were huge and very shiny green bergenias. Beautiful xx

Like this. I have only had smallish ones which turn red and not spreading fast. Want good ground cover.

Have a look at the selection here https://www.burncoose.co.uk/site/plants.cfm?pl_id=542&CFID=23329536&CFTOKEN=ae1845c9326b6017-6D8B4316-AF13-BF45-4FB9B3FADFA69BCC

The descriptions include leaf size. 

I’ve found Burncoose to be a very reliable supplier and also generous with advice. 

Im not sure how bergenias would take to a woodland setting ... in my experience they’re at their best in full sun. I’m sure Burncoose will advise

Bergenias grow best in partial shade but will put up with full shade and dryish conditions and will also tolerate sunny positions.

Crocus have a wide selection of these plants but other sellers are available.

Thank you both. I was hoping someone could tell me the variety. Will check with Burncoose as I am ordering a Tropaeolum from them x

@moragb1 Just received email from The Secret Gardening Club and they have six varieties of Bergenia. Probably not what you are looking for but if you view their website (A-Z) you will see them grouped rather than separately. Seeing them reminded me of your thread.
