Rodgersia pinnata

Dramatic symmetrical clumps to 2-3’ tall and wide of highly textured, architectural, bold leaves with light-spring bronzing are queens of the woodland! Astilbe-like flowers of light pink to white fluff out well above the foliage in midsummer on reddish stems. Found along streams in their native woodlands in SW China, these regal plants enjoy rich acidic soil that is consistently moist, bright shade or AM sun and protection from fierce winds.
