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. Hostas, Myosotis and Pulmonarias make for choice underplantings.

Rodgerias adapt well to different light levels as long as the soil is moist and they have cool growing conditions. They tolerate wet soil and are at home along the edges of a pond or in a bog garden. Avoid planting in areas where they would be exposed to high winds.
Rodgersia can take a few years to get established and it is best not to move them. Remove any damaged foliage from late season frosts.
