Hi forum members
Can anyone please identify the big leaf plant in the photograph attached
How and when do you prune them
They are begining to spread into area I don't want them in
And can they be transplanted
Many thanks for your help

    Which plant do you mean?
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    The Bergenia I think.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    I thought maybe the Bergenia, pink flowers on the right, bottom of wall, but I was wondering if there could be acanthus mollis on the left.

    The plant with large leaves at the base of the wall?  I agree with @wild edges ... Bergenia

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Thank you I will look on the website at Bergenia 
    They have a small pink flower that's just bloomed 
    But thank you for your comments
    and let you all know the result
