Mukgenia 'Nova Flame'

Mukgenia has a compact spreading habit, with attractive dark green foliage with excellent bronze and red tones towards Autumn. Small white flower spikes appear before foliage in Spring. Mukgenia is a cross between Mukdenia & Bergenia. 'Nova Flame' bears clusters of dark pink bergenia-like flowers, and jagged edged green leaves that develop red 'flames' in Autumn.

Split the root ball at the centre with a sharp knife or a spade, or by placing two garden forks back-to-back into the middle of the root ball, and pushing the fork handles apart.to lever the root ball apart. Replant the new clumps to the same depth as the original, and water well. Keep well watered until established.
