Rodgersia henrici - 2026

Rodgersia henrici is a bold perennial producing large, palmate leaves that emerge bronze-green and mature to deep green, creating dramatic architectural interest in borders, woodland gardens, or near water features. In summer, it produces tall, erect panicles of creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding height, texture, and visual appeal. Its striking foliage and flower spikes attract pollinators, enhancing ecological value and ornamental impact.

It thrives in full sun to partial shade in moist, fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Medium-maintenance, it benefits from mulching and regular watering during dry periods. Non-native to the UK, it is prized for its architectural presence, bold foliage, and ability to create a striking focal point in large-scale or naturalistic plantings.
