Rodgersia is a genus of herbaceous perennials known for their large, bronze-tinted leaves and plume-like flowers. In terms of light, rodgersia prefers partial shade, and for optimum growth, consistently moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter is ideal. Temperature wise, rodgersia thrives in cooler conditions and requires protection from hot, direct sunlight. Common challenges include susceptibility to slug and snail damage, leaf scorch in excessive sunlight, and root rot in poorly drained conditions. Seasonally, rodgersia requires protection from harsh winter conditions and may benefit from mulching to conserve moisture in summer and insulate roots in winter.
