Abstract: We study the Ricci flow starting at an SU(2) cohomogeneity-1 metric $g_0$ on $mathbb{R}^4$ with monotone warping coefficients and whose restriction to any hypersphere is a Berger metric. If $g_0$ has bounded Hopf-fiber, curvature controlled by the size of the orbits and opens faster than a paraboloid in the directions orthogonal to the Hopf-fiber, then the flow converges to the Taub-NUT metric $g_{mathsfTNUT}$ in the Cheeger-Gromov sense in infinite time. We also classify the long-time behaviour when $g_0$ is asymptotically flat. In order to identify infinite-time singularity models we obtain a uniqueness result for $g_{mathsfTNUT}$.
