Mukdenia rossii | Red-leaved Mukdenia

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Mukdenia rossii forms low, spreading clumps of rounded, softly lobed green leaves that create a gentle ground-layer through the growing season. In early to mid-spring, delicate sprays of small white flowers rise on slender stems above the foliage, bringing a light, airy display just as the garden begins to awaken. As the season progresses, the leaves may take on warm red tones along the margins, adding quiet color to the maturing planting.

Native to woodland regions of northeastern China and Korea, it reflects the cool, shaded environments of forest floors and mountain slopes. Seasonal growth and steady clumping habit lend calm texture to shaded borders and naturalistic plantings.
