Mukdenia rossii
Common name: mukdenia, crimson fans
Family: Saxifragaceae
Leaf: Palmate, rounded, 5-9 lobed, dentate, medium green leaves (up to 5" long), getting a bronze tinge by summertime.
Flowers: white, bell-shaped flowers in branched panicles rise on naked stems above the foliage clup- up to 16" tall in spring (April).
Height: 0.75-1.5'; Spread: 1-2'
Habit: compact herbaceous perennial; Form: clumping
Culture: Best grown in moist, fertile, well-drained soils in part shade. Tolerates full sun in the northern part of its growing range. Hardy in USDA zones 4-8. However, plants often struggle in hot and humid summers where they appreciate afternoon shade or sun dappled shade. If grown in full sun, consistent moisture is important. Plants spread over time by short creeping rhizomes.
Uses: groundcover for shady areas, borders, woodland margins. Flowers may be a little leggy in more shay areas.
Origin: China to Korea
