Mukgenia Nova® 'Flame'

The only Mukdenia-Bergenia cross on the market, Nova® Flame Mukgenia is a special hybrid. Offering dark pink flowers from its Bergenia mother and jagged leaf edges and outstanding fall color from its Mukdenia father, Nova® Flame Mukgenia is fabulous in mixed beds, borders and containers.

Those aren't the only great features of this intergenic cross. The thick, leathery leaves on Nova® Flame Mukgenia last longer in the fall than Mukdenia. Highly versatile and adaptable, it thrives in a variety of climates and sun exposures.

With 'Crimson Fans' Mukdenia as its father, Nova® Flame Mukgenia shows its Bergenia colors in the spring with dark pink flowers blooming in April, May and June. The father's leathery, jagged foliage takes over in the fall.

Growing at a moderate rate in a clumping habit in leafy, well-drained soil with average water, Nova® Flame Mukgenia reaches 13 inches when flowering. Care must be taken not to bury the crowns when planting.
