Rodgersia
Native to China and Japan, this spectacular genus will grow in ordinary garden soil, but give it a rich moist home along a pond, stream or marshy area and it will thrive. Rodgersias are fine structural specimens characterized by fleshy brownish black rhizomes, which remain visible through winter. The numerous unpetaled flowers, colored by intriguing creamy-salmon sepals and stamens, are borne on large panicles, and when in bud look almost like miniature cauliflowers. And, be warned! The textured, dark green leaves can spread to a foot across, so be sure to provide these plants with plenty of space.
Rodgersia pinnata ‘Bronze Peacock’ (P-2341)
Each 14.75
Peacocking long-lived luxurious texture, the hefty, deep-veined Chestnut-like foliage emerges in bronzy maroon hues then lightens to a green with darker margins. Tall and sturdy, red branched stalks unleash pink clusters of petite, starry flowers, which seduce the bees and later become decorative seed heads for imposing, cozy brown winter architecture. A prized Terra Nova introduction, ‘Bronze Peacock’s tailored compact habit mainlines gleaming deer-resistant theater into moist compost-enriched borders, bog gardens, wooded environs and waterside plantings.
