Anyone know what this is?

I have got tons of this growing in my front garden. Its got think leaves about 15cm across, the stems are tuberous scaly and set of roots from everywhere. I have taken a few cuttings and pitted them up but intend to dig it all up and gret rid of it.

It's a Bergenia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergenia" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) but I wouldn't know what species or cultivar it is though I would think it's a pain to get rid of though from what I remember they grow from strong rhizomatous roots which spread outwards to increase it's range

Probably Bergenia crassifolia. That is the most commonly seen species and it looks more or less like what I remember that species looking like.

Yeah Bergenia crassifolia looks right. Cherrs guys

It's not hard to get rid of, I managed to kill what I had without even trying!

Seriously - the rhizomes run right along the surface. Easy to remove or to transplant.
