Rodgersias have bold textured leaves that take on beautiful red and bronze tones in the fall. The flowers are a fluffy rose pink that are held high above the foliage and then followed by interesting seed heads. The course foliage makes it excellent as a specimen plant. Give them planty of room as they will become massive in size once established.
With its bold, divided leaves this forms an exotic-looking clump that adds a unique foliage accent to any moist border. Large airy plumes of soft-pink to rose-purple flowers appear in early to mid-summer, and these are useful for cutting or even drying.
Slowly gaining popularity as a unique plant in the shade garden, used primarily as a specimen, foliage has a coarse texture unlike many other shady perennials, does not like heavy clay soil. Bold, hardy, large fingered leaf with puffy bright pink blooms for moist areas as well. Grows 30 inches tall, hardy for zone 3 and higher.
