This particular selection has pleated bronze foliage. It makes a terrific specimen plant under the right growing conditions.

Rodgersias require moist, humus rich soil for best performance. Protect from a hot sun and strong winds. The leaves will become scorched if they are too dry or receive too much sun without sufficient moisture. If the new leaves are damaged by late spring frost, simply prune them off and new growth will emerge. This plant rarely requires division, but it can be done in the fall.
