Bronze Peacock Rodgersia is the undisputed showbird of the shade garden. Emerging in spring with thick, glossy bronze foliage that unfurls like a peacock's tail, this stunning perennial brings a touch of luxury and drama to woodland beds and borders. As the season progresses, the leaves shift from deep bronze to green with dark edges, creating dynamic color play that anchors any shady planting.
In late spring to early summer, tall, ruby-red stems rise from the dense foliage, topped with feathery plumes of deep pink flowers. These blooms add texture and vertical interest while luring in pollinators. Compact yet bold, Bronze Peacock Rodgersia forms compact tidy mounds—a perfect balance of structure and softness for shaded spaces.
Developed by Terra Nova Nurseries, this refined selection of Rodgersia pinnata thrives in partial to full shade and consistently moist, rich soil. It's the perfect statement perennial for woodland gardens, near water features, or shaded borders where its bold foliage and shimmering flowers can take center stage. Rated for cold hardiness in zones 5–8, Bronze Peacock Rodgersia offers sculptural beauty that matures gracefully through the seasons.
