Rodgersia podophylla 'Saarbrücken' - 2026

Rodgersia podophylla 'Saarbrücken' is a striking perennial with large, bold, palmate leaves that emerge deep green with bronze tones, providing dramatic architectural interest in shaded borders, woodland gardens, or alongside water features. In summer, it produces tall, erect panicles of creamy-white flowers above the foliage, adding height, texture, and visual appeal. Its lush foliage and elegant flowers attract pollinators, enhancing both ecological and ornamental value.

It thrives in partial shade to full shade in moist, fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Medium-maintenance, it benefits from regular watering during dry spells and mulching to protect roots. Non-native to the UK, it is prized for its architectural foliage, structural presence, and ability to create a strong focal point in naturalistic or woodland-style plantings.
