Rodgersia ‘Dark Pokers’ (3-Litre Pot)

Add drama and impact to your summer garden with the bold and architectural form of Rodgersia ‘Dark Pokers’. With broad leaves that emerge in attractive bronze-green hues and gradually darken to pure green, it perfectly accentuates the tall sprays of pink flowers above.

This clump-forming perennial has wrinkled and veined foliage and dark red stems that further adds to its architectural appeal. Reaching up to a metre in height and spread when fully grown, it makes a sensational feature and focal point in flowerbeds and borders but is also reliable enough to thrive in low maintenance and informal garden spaces.

Preferring to have consistently moist feet and the sun on its face, this perennial will flourish next to a pond or stream but will also thrive in free draining soil that is kept moist. To keep it looking at its best, cut back the spent flowers throughout the season and you can then enjoy its architectural appeal year after year.
