Rodgersia pinnata 'Superba' - 2026

Rodgersia pinnata 'Superba' is a robust perennial with large, pinnate leaves that emerge bronze-green before maturing to deep green, creating bold architectural interest in borders, woodland gardens, or near water features. In summer, it produces tall, erect panicles of creamy-white flowers rising above the foliage, adding height, texture, and visual appeal. Its dramatic foliage and flower spikes attract pollinators, enhancing both ecological and ornamental value.

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 valued for its striking foliage, architectural presence, and ability to create a strong focal point in large-scale or naturalistic plantings.
