Rodgersia pinnata
Rodgersia pinnata is an exotic-looking, clump-forming perennial. It has large ornamental leaves, lobed and divided in five to seven parts, the red-bronze veins adding to its charm. Its clumps reach up to a height of 1.5m with herbaceous stems that are accompanied by huge bristly white star-shaped blossoms during late spring and early summer. The small dark berries feature in early autumn. This plant needs moist, well drained soil in full sun or partial shade and can be grown in gardens, well-lit beds or borders. Its clusters of beauty and size make it an ideal choice for making a statement in any garden.

watering
Rodgersias should be watered on a weekly basis during the warm months of the year, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. During the cooler months of the year, water less often, just enough to keep the soil barely moist. You should not let the soil become soggy. When watering, soak the soil thoroughly, until water drains from the bottom of the planter. This will ensure that all of the root system gets plenty of water.
sunlight
Rodgersia (Rodgersia pinnata) plants prefer full sun to partial shade. If grown in full sun, they will require 6-8 hours of full sunlight each day. It is best to avoid any strong, direct afternoon sun that can cause the foliage to scorch. Rodgersia plants perform best in an area that receives morning sun and afternoon shade, with partial shade in the late afternoon for the best results.
pruning
Rodgersia pinnata needs to be pruned every year, generally in late winter or early spring when the plant is not actively growing. This deciduous species should be pruned back to a foot or 2 above the ground, to encourage new, fresh growth. Pruning after flowering has ended can also help to produce a bushier, fuller plant. Deadheading the spent flowers can also help to maintain the plants shape and reduce overcrowding. It is best to avoid excessive pruning, as it can damage or weaken the plant and reduce flower production.
