Astilboides tabularis
Shieldleaf Rodgersia |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.088.010
An unusual perennial, formerly known as Rodgersia tabularis, but now given a name of its own by botanists. This forms a large specimen-sized mound of deep green circular, umbrella-like leaves. Big creamy white plumes of Astilbe-like flowers make an appearance in early summer. Best in a very moist area, even beside a stream or pond. In hot, humid summer regions this is best in partial shade. Will tolerate full sun with plenty of moisture and a rich soil. Excellent for cutting. Plants may be divided in early spring. A bold specimen plant, very dramatic when happy!
