Rodgersia aesculifolia
10th August 2013
Rodgersia have been slowly increasing in popularity through the last decade and I have at last caught on.
They make dramatic perennials that prosper in moist climates and tolerate reasonable shade.
Just perfect for the garden here.
I have been slowly acquiring them as opportunity presents. R. aesculifolia comes from Northern China
and can grow to six feet or more, though I have never seen it reach much over three in the UK. Mine is a baby
and so I have potted it while it develops a decent rhizome (and while I consider where to plant a monster).
