Description
Chestnut Rodgersia is a dramatic perennial that thrives in moist, partially shaded areas of Massachusetts gardens. Known for its large, palmate leaves that resemble horse-chestnut foliage, this bold plant produces towering plumes of creamy-white flowers from late spring to early summer. The foliage emerges with a rich bronze tone in spring, matures to light green, and finishes with coppery-bronze hues in the fall, adding year-round interest.
Ideal as a specimen plant or for mass plantings, Chestnut Rodgersia delivers texture and height to shaded beds, bog gardens, or waterside plantings. It requires minimal maintenance—just a seasonal cutback—and is generally left alone by deer. Chestnut Rodgersia is especially well suited for adding a lush, architectural element to woodland-inspired landscapes across Massachusetts.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
