Rodgersia Henrici Hybrid
A unique shade-loving giant perennial for the bog garden and damp border. Rodgersia Henrici Hybrids bears bold large fingered leaves in dark green and bronze tints, up to 2ft wide. Large, airy plumes of soft pink to deep rose appear in Summer, followed by pretty seedheads in Autumn which make lovely fresh or dried cut flowers. Rodgersia prefers moist soil in dappled shade, but will grow in full sun at the water’s edge. It is an ideal specimen by itself or mixed with other large damp ground lovers.
