Design with this plant

Overview

Mukdenia rossii, commonly known as Mukdenia, is a herbaceous perennial notable for its maple-like leaves and slender, airy sprays of small, bell-shaped, white flowers. In the spring, foliage emerges with bronze hues, maturing to green, then transforming to a striking red in fall. Thrives in partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. Grows to a modest size of 1-1.5 ft tall and wide, perfect for woodland gardens or shaded borders. Hardy to zones 4-8.
