{"product_id":"fusion-of-fire-mukdenia-20-cell-plug-tray","title":"Fusion of Fire Mukdenia - 20-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eFusion of Fire is a hybrid shade perennial grown mostly for its big, bold leaves, which can reach more than a foot across. The notched, maple-like foliage emerges green and turns fiery red in fall, and sprays of blush-pink flowers rise above it in early to mid spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt flowers more heavily and grows more vigorously than a typical mukdenia while staying about 12 to 14 inches tall. Use it as a specimen or edging plant in a woodland garden or a shady patio container where the leaves can be seen up close.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaves are very large, often more than 12 inches wide, rounded and palmately lobed like a maple, with deeply notched, toothed edges and a slightly glossy, medium green surface. In fall the foliage turns bright scarlet red. In early spring, loose, branched sprays of small, star-shaped, blush-pink to white flowers rise on reddish stems just above the emerging leaves. The plant forms a low, broad mound about 12 to 14 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. At peak foliage season it reads as a clump of bold, overlapping lobed leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFusion of Fire wants shade and steady moisture, so it belongs in a woodland bed or a shaded corner by the house rather than out in the sunny lavender rows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in part to full shade, ideally with filtered sun or shelter from afternoon sun, in average soil kept evenly moist. Hardy in zones 5-8. It grows slowly, so give it time to size up, and remove old leaves in early spring before the flowers appear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e × Oredenia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blush pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium green, turning scarlet red in fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, broad mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–14 in tall × 18–24 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e part sun to part shade, full shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-April\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderately resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 20-cell plug tray: 20 large, field-ready plugs of this variety (cells about 2¾ in. wide × 3¼ in. deep or deeper), ready to plant out or pot up.
