Rodgersia

 

Featherleaf

Rodgersia grow by streams and in shady moist woodland. In cultivation they thrive in soil that never dries out but is not waterlogged. They will grow in sun under these conditions in good humus rich soil but they are susceptible to sun and wind scorch. They are very hardy but their new growths in the spring can be damaged by late frosts. The leaves of many varieties are attractive in the Spring when, grown in good light, they have a bronze or copper hue. They also produce spectacular flowers which do not have petals.

Planting Outdoors Spring

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Plant young plants in rich soil that never dries out but is not waterlogged. They will grow in sun under these conditions in good humus rich soil but they are susceptible to sun and wind scorch. Thus they will benefit from the prevailing wind with the protection of a fence or wall. Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould when planting.
