Rodgersia aesculifolia
Rodgersia aesculifolia is an attractive perennial plant species native to China. The foliage is unique and ornamental, with bold, coarsely-toothed leaves that range in colour from brown to bronze-green, topped with panicles of fluffy white flowers in the spring. This plant prefers moist soil and cool, shady locations, and is an ideal choice for a moist site in the border or as an accent plant in large containers. It is resistant to most conditions and pests, and can tolerate occasional flooding. Rodgersia aesculifolia adds texture and colour to the garden, and is a stunning addition to any landscape.

watering
Rodgersia aesculifolia prefers moist soil and should be watered regularly during the growing season. Water thoroughly when the soil surface begins to dry, about every 7-10 days. During the winter months, when the plant is dormant, water more infrequently and keep the top soil only slightly moist. No matter the season, avoid over-watering and never let this plant sit in water.
sunlight
Rodgersia aesculifolia requires full sun for optimum growth. It does best with 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day and can tolerate a few hours more as long as it has adequate water. This plant is hardy and can withstand periods of drought or extended wet weather with little adverse effect, however, you may notice some foliar scorching in extreme drought conditions. Too much shade can cause the plant to become leggy and decline in vigor. It is best to select a planting site that receives full sun in the early morning and some afternoon shade during the heat of the day.
pruning
Rodgersia aesculifolia is a large, herbaceous perennial that is best pruned in the late fall to early winter to encourage vigorous growth and bloom appearance in the spring. Pruning can be done by cutting back old, dead, or diseased stems all the way to the base of the plant. This will create an attractive shape. Severe pruning is not recommended. Removal of up to 1-third of the plant's foliage should be the maximum. Trimming back low branches and excess foliage to maintain a desired shape is recommended. Pruning can also help the plant to tolerate strong winds as the branches are thicker and less prone to snapping.
