$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rodgersia pinnata 'Bronze Peacock' features dramatic, glossy leaves that emerge a deep bronze-purple in spring, creating a bold, dark backdrop in shaded or partially shaded areas. As the season progresses, the foliage matures to a rich green with bronze undertones, maintaining a lush, textured appearance. In midsummer, tall spikes of light to dark pink flowers rise above the foliage, creating a lovely contrast and adding a soft, airy quality to its overall form.

Native to East Asia, Rodgersia pinnata thrives in woodland and damp garden environments, where it brings a distinctive presence. 'Bronze Peacock' is especially valued for its unique foliage color and texture, which make it a superb companion for other moisture-loving, shade-tolerant plants. Its long-lasting leaves and seasonal flower spikes add both structure and visual interest to garden beds, making it an excellent choice for adding depth and contrast to shaded landscapes.
