Wayside Gardens Mukgenia Nova
Best low-maintenance perennial for gardeners seeking vibrant, season-long foliage and blooms.
This hybrid bridges the gap between delicate spring blooms and high-impact fall foliage, offering a rare, season-long visual payoff. While its clumping habit is modest in size, the thick, leathery leaves provide a structural durability that most perennials simply can't match.
