{"product_id":"rodgersia-aesculifolia","title":"Rodgersia Aesculifolia","description":"\u003cp\u003eRodgersia aesculifolia is a bold herbaceous perennial grown for its large, striking leaves and soft flower plumes in summer. The young foliage often opens in bronze tones before maturing to green, giving the plant a rich look through the season. Its broad leaves and strong shape make it a fine choice for damp borders, woodland-style planting, and the edges of water features. It forms a steady clump over time and brings texture and height to shaded planting. The flowers rise above the foliage in airy clusters and add a light finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plant is valued as much for its foliage as for its flowers, so it holds its place even when not in bloom. It suits gardens that need a strong leaf shape to balance finer plants such as ferns and astilbes. Serious disease problems are uncommon, which helps keep care simple. Slugs and snails may damage the tender young leaves, especially in wet weather, so early checks are useful. Leaf scorch can appear if the soil becomes too dry or if the site is too exposed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePruning needs are light and mostly help keep the plant neat. Faded flower stems can be removed after blooming, and old foliage can be cleared away before new spring growth starts. Propagation is usually done by division, which is the most practical method for home gardeners and also helps manage older clumps. Seed can be used, but it takes more time and patience. Overall, this is a striking plant for moist, sheltered spots where bold foliage is wanted through much of the season.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnswallow Flowers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44798467342387,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/4284\/2675\/files\/ecb77caf095d_1050.jpg?v=1788112701","url":"https:\/\/barnswallowflowers.com\/products\/rodgersia-aesculifolia","provider":"Barnswallow Flowers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
