Mukdenia rossii 'Karasuba' P9

Mukdenia rossii ‘Karasuba’ – Crimson Fans

Mukdenia rossii ‘Karasuba’ is an unusual, shade-loving woodland perennial, prized for its striking, deeply lobed, maple-like foliage. The bronze-green leaves develop brilliant crimson-red tips and margins during summer, intensifying to rich burgundy-red in autumn. In spring, delicate sprays of small, star-shaped, creamy-white flowers appear above the emerging foliage.

Ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders and waterside planting, ‘Karasuba’ provides exceptional seasonal foliage colour.
