Rodgersia podophylla

Rodgersia podophylla
Forms a 3' mound of attractive jagged, toothed leaves up to 10" long. Leaves emerge bronze-green in spring, mature to green and finally turn bronze-red in fall. Creamy white flowers rise above the foliage 1-2', appearing in June-August. Moist, deeply dug soil in part shade, tolerating some sun if not allowed to dry out. Grows well in moist woodland gardens, bog gardens, water garden peripheries or along stream banks. A great addition to a rain garden.  3-5', Z5-8.
