Rodgersia: Shade-Loving Perennials for Woodland Gardens

Rodgersia is a stunning genus of perennial plants in the Saxifragaceae family, native to the moist, shaded forests of East Asia. Known for its large, deeply lobed leaves—often resembling horse chestnut foliage—Rodgersia adds dramatic texture to woodland gardens. In late spring and early summer, tall flower spikes emerge, adorned with clusters of creamy-white to pink blooms that attract bees and butterflies.

Thriving in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture, Rodgersia is perfect for shady borders, mixed plantings, and damp areas. Its tolerance for wet conditions makes it ideal for managing moisture in garden landscapes. With impressive foliage and elegant flowers, Rodgersia is a must-have for gardeners seeking bold, shade-loving plants that enhance biodiversity and visual interest.
