This lovely little member of the saxifrage family enticed me with its rosy autumnal foliage. Little did I know quite how delightful the flower spikes of Mukdenia rossii would be, standing tall above the barely emerging bronze/green palmate leaves. If you have a sliver of woodlandesque garden, not too dry, I would recommend this Chinese native for a long season of splendid interest. It certainly brightened a misty spring morning for me.

Thank you for reminding me of Mukdenia Gill. An ugly name for a pretty plant, which I had once in a previous garden, alongside Jeffersonia dubia which I am equally sorry to have left behind.

Oooh, another plant to add to my list of “get this for the next garden” — and it’s hardy for me! (Zones 4-8 USDA cold) Thanks!

One is certainly not enough! I need another one too, or I may have to live vicariously through others 🙂

It does look the perfect plant for a misty morning 🙂

And most other mornings I think Amy. Mist has cleared today and hopefully it will be a sunny one. Hope it is the same with you too 🙂

The foliage is superb here in the fall but not much of a bloomer. Maybe we don’t have your misty mornings 😉

They are lovely, but not if they extend to misty days, which is what happened yesterday! The sun is back today, horray 🙂
