Rodgersia (Rodgersia aesculifolia) is a perennial for shade borders, woodland gardens, and wet spots. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil. Creamy white flowers, sometimes pink, open from early to late summer. The blooms are fragrant, and the plant grows 36 to 60 inches tall and wide, so give it room.
