Rodgersia podophylla 'Braunlaub'

Rodgersia podophylla ‘Braunlaub’

Add bold texture and seasonal color to shaded gardens with Rodgersia podophylla ‘Braunlaub’. Large palmate leaves are divided into jagged, toothed leaflets, giving this perennial a strong architectural look. The foliage emerges dark bronze in spring, matures to deep green through summer, and develops copper tones in fall.

In midsummer, tall, airy plumes of tiny white flowers rise above the foliage, adding softness and movement to the plant’s dramatic form.

‘Braunlaub’ grows best in fertile, consistently moist soil with light shade. In cooler areas, it can tolerate more sun as long as the soil does not dry out. It is well suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, rain gardens, and moist planting areas.
