Mukgenia NOVA® ‘Flame’
This hybrid is an amazing combination of dark pink flowers from its Bergenia heritage and jagged leaf-edges and great fall color from Mukdenia 'Crimson Fans'. A cool and lovely intergeneric cross. The thick, leathery leaves last longer than Mukdenia in the fall before they go down for the winter. Long-lived and good in containers.
