Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Stunning bronze leaves with sharply serrated edges which hold their colour through the early season becoming dark green by midsummer. Cream flushed red flowers held high above the foliage.

By: Phoenix Perennials and Specialty Plants Ltd.

Classy bronzed leaves with strong veined compound showing. Dark green leaves into summer turning brilliant coppery with red highlights during fall. Ivory colored flowers with a hint of red.

A topnotch foliage plant selected by Ernest Pagels, 'Braunlaub' delivers stylish bronzed leaves. Loose ivory-colored panicles rise high above the striking textural clump composed of prominently veined compound leaves divided into 5 to 7 lobed leaflets with sharply serrated edges. Becoming dark green by midsummer and later transmuting brilliant copper and red autumn hues, this Rodgersia's large richly colored foliage offsets fine textured plants like Carex 'Oehme' and Thalictrum 'Elin'.
