A Bergenia hybrid with Mukdenia. The flowers look somewhat like Bergenia and are bright pink in spring. All summer, the foliage is deep green and looks like a Mukdenia. In fall, the evergreen foliage will turn red purple.

Mukgenia 'Nova Flame' is an intriguing intergeneric hybrid between Bergenia and its relative Mukdenia. The foliage is thick and leathery with jagged edges and red-flushed undersides. The foliage reddens through summer presenting great fall colour before dropping for its winter dormancy. The flowers are bright fuchsia with star-like petals rather than the bell-shaped flowers of Bergenia.

Brilliant red fall color makes it a fun container accent and it is perfectly hardy in zones 4-9. Height 8" x 12" wide. Grow in a soil that has good drainage in part shade.

This hybrid is an amazing combination with April to June dark pink to bright fuchsia flowers on red stems from its Bergenia "mother," and jagged leaf edges and great fall leaf color from its Mukdenia 'Crimson Fans' "father." It's long-lived and great in containers, and even attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. 1' T x 1.5' W; deciduous but the leaves last long into fall. For best color, plant in light or bright shade and the leaf edges will become quite red and will infiltrate the entire leaf in fall. Minimum temperature: -40 °F
