Mukdenia rossii ‘Karasuba’ (P-1662)

Each 10.75

Sauntering along the rocky slopes and ravines of Korea, China and Manchuria, this hardy Heuchera relative crafts an easily grown compact ground cover that’s bold, lustrous and well-mannered. Spring brings branched panicles of dainty, bell-shaped white flowers on tall, bare slender stems. Come summer, the large, rounded Maple-like green leaves acquire bronzy-maroon tinges near their tips. Cool autumn weather sparks intense crimson-red hues that gradually move inward, eventually transforming the entire deciduous leaf into a blaze of glory. ‘Karasuba’ spreads by slowly creeping rhizomes, prospers in rich moist soil and appreciates ample shade during hot humid summers.

Prized Pulmonarias……

One of the earliest perennials to bloom, you can be picking their enchanting urn-shaped flowers in February while the rest of the garden still slumbers. Many cultivars showcase an array of mercury-hued dapples, speckles and spots, while others sport solid pewter sheens or striking silver streaks. Easy-to-grow Pulmonarias prefer the lacy light of a woodland setting plus cool moist soil. Our newsletter also includes a handful of other shade-loving perennials that promise alluring foliage. Many of these perennials can be partnered with Pulmonarias for intriguing foliar contrast. You may wish to check out our online Pulmonaria offerings.
