Rodgersia ‘Bronze Peacock’ is an impressive and unusual hardy perennial, valued for its large, architectural foliage and attractive bronze and copper tones. It makes an excellent feature plant for shady or partially shaded areas of the garden. The large, deeply divided leaves emerge in rich bronze and copper shades before developing into attractive green and bronze tones as the season progresses. The bold foliage provides excellent texture and structure throughout the growing season. In summer, established plants produce tall, elegant flower stems carrying clusters of small flowers above the foliage, adding further height and interest.
