$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rodgersia podophylla forms bold, palmate leaves divided into broad, toothed leaflets that emerge bronze tinted in spring before maturing to deep green. The large foliage creates a substantial presence in shaded plantings. In early to midsummer, tall plumes of creamy white flowers rise above the leaves, composed of many small blooms that open in airy panicles and age to soft pink tones.

Native to woodland regions of Japan and Korea, the species grows along forest margins and moist mountain slopes. In gardens, it lends structure to shaded borders, woodland settings, and water side plantings where its dramatic foliage and upright flower panicles provide seasonal interest.
