Rodgersia aesculifolia

Common Name: Rodger's Flower, Fingerleaf Rodgersia

Rodgersia has well textured leaves that take on beautiful red and bronze tones in the fall. The flowers that grow atop of the large clumps are small and form thick plumes similar to Astilbes. It has spires of cream to pinkish flowers that are followed by reddish fruits in autumn. It creates a very dramatic effect in the bog garden or waterside.
