Red-Leafed Mukdenia
Mukdenia rossii 'Crimson Fans'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Saxifragaceae
Plant Description: A compact semi-evergreen perennial with fanning, lobed green leaves. In early spring, clusters of small white to pale pink flowers sit closely above the mounds of foliage. By summertime, the leaves develop bright red streaks along the margins, providing interest even when flowers aren't blooming. Striking in mass plantings, it will gradually spread and naturalize in ideal conditions.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Evergreen
Plant Care: Perennial - Evergreen (soft-stemmed plants that keep their leaves and color during winter): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. To avoid winter stress, wait until spring to identify what portions of the plant are still alive and then remove the rest.
