Rodgersia podophylla 'Bronze Peacock'

Common Name:
Rodgersia 'Bronze Peacock'

Description:
Rodgersia podophylla 'Bronze Peacock' is a striking, clump-forming perennial known for its bold, deeply lobed foliage that emerges in a rich, glossy bronze-purple before maturing to deep green. The dramatic leaves create a lush, tropical effect in shaded gardens. In late spring to early summer, tall flower spikes rise above the foliage, producing clusters of creamy-white to soft pink blooms that attract pollinators. This moisture-loving plant thrives in part shade to full shade with consistently damp, well-drained soil, making it ideal for woodland gardens, pond edges, and shaded borders. Its bold foliage and elegant blooms make it a standout feature in any cool, moist garden setting.
