Fingerleaf Rodgersflower

Fingerleaf Rodgers flower has ridged, deeply veined leaves up to two feet wide, which give a beautiful, bold texture to the garden. These palmately lobed leaves, which resemble horsechestnut leaves, are deep green suffused with pink to bronze. Spikes up to two feet long of fluffy, creamy white or pink flowers are held above the foliage. A mature clump can be five feet wide, and it's rhizomatous, so it will spread and make an effective ground cover under trees. It also may be used in bog and water gardens. As the largest of the Rodgerasias it makes a bold architectural and textural statement in the shade garden.
