Rodgersia podophylla 'Tien Tsin Red' | Tien Tsin Red Rodger's Flower

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Rodgersia podophylla ‘Tien Tsin Red’ produces bold, palmate leaves divided into broad, serrated leaflets that emerge rich red to bronze in spring before gradually maturing to deep green with lingering reddish tones. The large foliage creates a substantial canopy in shaded plantings. In early to midsummer, upright plumes of creamy white flowers rise above the leaves, composed of many small blooms that age to soft blush tones.

Originating from woodland regions of Japan and Korea, this selection reflects the species’ mountain forest heritage. In garden settings, ‘Tien Tsin Red’ provides architectural foliage for shaded borders, woodland gardens, and pond edges, contributing layered texture and seasonal color.
