Mukdenia rossii 'Karasuba'

A beautiful perennial for dappled shade, preferring a moisture-retentive soil, but will cope with drier conditions. Before the glossy, bronzy leaves unfurl, tight clusters of pink buds emerge from the soil, rather like a mini darmera. By mid spring, the starry creamy-white flowers are open, held above the now greening leaves. In autumn, foliage will often turn a fiery red. In its native Korea, it often grows alongside streams making good swathes of groundcover.
