Rodgersia

Rodgersia pinnata

This dramatic foliage plant features large, deeply lobed pinnate leaves resembling horse chestnut leaflets and produces dense upright panicles of small pink to red flowers in mid-summer. Growing 3–4 feet tall, rodgersia adds bold architectural interest to shade gardens and moist borders with its bronze-tinged or copper-flushed foliage. It is exceptionally valuable for creating lush, tropical effects in cool-climate shade settings.
