Rodgersia aesculifolia – The enormous, palmate leaves, up to 2 feet tall and wide, resemble those of Horse Chestnut trees. Mounds of dark green foliage grow as tall as 4 feet on an established plant. The white midsummer flowering stalks of Fingerleaf Rodgersia may grow 5 tall looking every bit like a large, coarse astilbe flower. Flowers may exhibit the barest touch of pink. Inflorescence age to dark brown and are persistent through the remaining weeks of the growing season. After flowering these stalks may be removed; we think them attractive enough to leave them until fall cleanup. This full sun to dappled shade perennial will relish organic, moist soil. Versatile and bold, Rodgersia is striking in the woodland garden, an elegant specimen ground cover among tap-rooted trees casting dappled shade and a spectacular naturalizer near water's edge. This is another member under the large and great Saxifragaceae umbrella. Pot grown Division.
