Chestnut-leaved Rodgersia
A striking architectural perennial for the bog garden, Rodgersia aesculifolia bears beautiful bronze tinted leaves with dark brown veins similar in shape to Horse Chestnut. These exotic looking leaves can be as large as 2 foot wide. Above these, large airy spikes of star shaped, white or pink flowers appear in midsummer followed by red seedheads in autumn. Rodgersia prefers moist soil in dappled shade, but will grow in full sun at the water’s edge. An ideal specimen by itself or mixed with other large damp ground lovers such as Ligularia, Astilbes and ferns. Rodgersia aesculifolia holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
