#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.
