    The darkest Rodgersia yet!: the huge glossy bronze leaves of this 2' clumper emerge like a peacock's tail before the 4' flower stalks; an easy and dramatic addition for the woodland/pond garden. PSh-Sh/M-W PPAF

    This baby brags about having the darkest foliage of any Rodgersia! Thick, highly textured, bronze and extra-large, these leaves rival a peacock fan, forming a 2’ mound of dramatic foliage. Tall stems topped with pink flowers late spring to early summer complete the package. Happiest in consistently moist, rich soils with decent drainage without the close company of greedy tree roots. The drama queen of the bright shade garden!

    We saw this plant in late July and the foliage was brilliant red purple. It is positively stunning to see the beautiful foliage plant. These are large full 2 gallon plants. The price is expensive, but this plant is new, rare and very beautiful.

    Bronze Peacock' offers the darkest foliage of any Rodgersia with deep, bronze-brown, thick, glossy leaves that look like they've been hammered from an ancient metal alloy. A great sculptural addition to the woodland garden or moist sunnier positions. Large trusses of tiny pink flowers are followed by dark, dramatic seed heads. Compact habit stays within bounds of container or garden. Very choice!

    The darkest foliage of any Rodgersia. The leaves are thick, glossy, indented and make a great sculptural addition to your woodland garden. Pink flowers emerge in late spring above the mound. In spring, the huge bronze leaves emerge like a peacock's tail! An improvement of an underused, easy to grow perennial. Deep, bronze brown leaves feel like they were hammered out of an ancient metal alloy, so thick and glossy they can't be ignored. Large trusses of tiny pink flowers are a bonus in the spring. Equally dark and dramatic seed heads are long lasting and showy. Compact habit stays within bounds of container or garden. Very choice!
