Description
Looking for something totally unique? Mukdenia rossii 'Karasuba', also called Crimson Fans, is a Heuchera relative with a totally different look like no other plant. Though it has pretty flowers, it is mainly adored for its attractive foliage. The plant forms in a spreading mound to maybe a foot tall and 2 feet wide with dense, 5-inch diameter rounded palmate leaves that look like fans. The large leaves emerge green in spring developing crimson red margins in early summer creeping inwards from the edges until by fall almost the entire leaf is a fire red. In mid spring, delicate, white, bell-shaped flowers in branched panicles rise on naked stems above the foliage clump to 16 inches tall. Excellent in containers or garden beds where it is sure to be a conversation piece.
While Mukdenia is tolerant of full sun in cool summer climates of its range it will appreciate shade or sun dappled shade during the afternoon in hot-summer climates.
Landscape / Garden Uses
Growing 10 to 12 inches tall and 24 inches wide or so, Crimson Fans Mukdenia is ideal for use an accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings or as a groundcover or low border where space allows. Also a colorful and textural accent in combination container gardens. A fine addition to tropical or lush gardens, red theme gardens, Asian gardens, and cottage gardens.
Growing Preferences
Crimson Fans Mukdenia is easy to grow in a moist but well-drained soil of average to high fertility and part shade. Though it will tolerate full sun with consistent soil moisture in the cooler northern range where it will grow, it prefers shade or filtered sun during the afternoon in hot-summer climates. A constantly soggy or wet soil can cause root rot. We've seen no serious insect or disease problems and deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone.
