Rodgersia pinnata is a handsome herbaceous plant that features wonderfully textured, mid green foliage, creating the perfect backdrop for the bright red buds in late spring that then open to pink feathery blooms through summer.
Their foliage is still very attractive when not in bloom but these plants really come into their own when in flower.
They make a standout feature, especially near ponds or at the edges of woodland or in the fringes of tree shade - e.g. they can get some full sun during the day.
