Product Description
Product Description
It's always fascinating to see what growers come up with in their quest for "better" plants. Mukgenia Nova® Flame is a cross between a serrated leafed, deciduous perennial (named in honor of Mukden, the Chinese capital city of the Manchu dynasty) and bergenia, a much loved evergreen perennial here in the Pacific NW. What this cross results in is a deciduous perennial that puts out coppery-bronze, heavily serrated, oval leaves in the spring that mature to green, then develop red edges in the fall before dying back for the winter. Deep pink springtime flowers emerge on stalks about a foot tall. Mukgenia's clumping habit makes it an excellent choice for container planters or along the front of borders. It does best with some protection from the hot afternoon sun, although it can grow in full sun if watered regularly.
