Named Bronze Peacock because of the way the new growth emerges and spreads like a Peacock's tail, these burst onto the scene with brilliant red-purple and bronzy colors!
The deeply textured, pleated, pinnate and toothy leaves mature to a deep green and are glossy whorls. Red stems and purple highlights further decorate these curiosities! Taking on reddish-bronze fall color to finish out the growing season.
The show isn't over because in spring, tall floral spikes of fluffy pink blooms rise above Rodgersia's intriguing foliage backdrop to call pollinators from far and wide!

How to Use Bronze Peacock Rodgersia In The Landscape
Loving moist shade and even stream or pond side conditions, Bronze Peacock Rodgersia thrives as an understory accent plant or impressive specimen in the dappled shade!
Plant along water features or around a shady rain garden for an impressive display of architectural presence and a tropical bit of panache.
A modest-sized perennial, the foliage creates an amazing backdrop to set other plants and perennials off against. The blooms rise to almost 4-5' in height and provide upright sculptural accents!
Woodland settings get tropical vacation treatment without the worry of deer causing damage. Dry shady beds and large planters are perfect places to highlight this unique plant!
#ProPlantTips For Care
The darkest foliage of any Rodgersia, Bronze Peacock does best in part shade. Winter hardy in USDA growing zones 5 through 8, these even tolerate some dry shade, though moisture really is what makes this plant thrive!
In colder climates, Rodgersia can handle some full sun but prefer dappled shade or afternoon shade from the summer sun.
Best in well-drained, high moisture soil, Bronze Peacock is not drought-tolerant. They do best in moist, rich, humusy soil that won't dry out. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.
A deciduous perennial, clean up the crown in late winter or early spring before you see new growth. Otherwise, there is no need to prune these plants.
Add tropical flair and exotic character, plus loads of color to your garden this year with the inclusion of Bronze Peacock Rodgersia! Order yours from Nature Hills today!
