Variety Sneak Peek: Rodgersia 'Bronze Peacock'

By Greenhouse Grower staff|December 7, 2011

Terra Nova Nurseries announced one of its many new introductions for 2012 this week in rodgersia ‘Bronze Peacock.’

‘Bronze Peacock,’ has the darkest foliage of any preceding rodgersia the breeding team at Terra Nova Nurseries has seen. The leaves are thick, glossy, indented and make a great sculptural addition to woodland gardens.

‘Bronze Peacock’ has pink flowers that bloom from June to August. In spring, the huge bronze leaves emerge like a peacock’s tail, giving this beautiful variety its name. ‘Bronze Peacock’ has a compact, clumping habit that stays within bounds of a container or garden. The rodgersia spans 28 inches wide and 22 inches tall. Additionally, the plant performs well in zones 5-8 and prefers to grow in part shade.
