Rodgersia podophylla

Rodgersia podophylla

Enhance your garden with Rodgersia podophylla, a striking perennial that forms a 3' mound of jagged, toothed leaves up to 10" long. The foliage emerges bronze-green in spring, matures to rich green, and turns bronze-red in fall. From June to August, creamy-white flowers rise 1–2' above the foliage, creating a dramatic display. Thriving in moist, deeply dug soil with part shade, it tolerates some sun if kept consistently moist. Perfect for woodland gardens, bog gardens, water garden edges, stream banks, or rain gardens, this perennial grows 3–5' tall and is hardy in zones 5–8.
