Description
'Crimson Fans' red-leafed mukdenia has distinctive, glossy, palmate leaves that emerge bronzy green, turn deep green tipped with crimson, then intensify to a bright burgundy with a hint of orange in the fall. Small, white, heuchera-like flowers bloom in early spring before the foliage appears. This unique woodland groundcover brings an exotic Asian look to the garden or a large container.
