    Abstract: A new cultivar of Bergenia omeiensis named ‘Merry Bells’ that is characterized by compact, low-growing plant habit, small rounded glossy green leaves which lie almost horizontal and clusters of white and soft pink bell-shaped flowers held on orange-red stems. The flowers of ‘Merry Bells’ emerge outward-facing and then gently recurve to expose orange-red calyces. In combination these traits set ‘Merry Bells’ apart from all other varieties of Bergenia known to the inventor.
