Marco’s comment on Rodgersia ‘Chocolate Wing’:
“They are good border plants, very strong, and they change through the year. First the changes in foliage colour, and then they get flowers. The plants are long-lived, and even after the foliage dies away in Autumn, the flower stems remain upright with seed pods, creating an interesting winter silhouette”.
The production crop of Rodgersia 'Chocolate Wing' displays its many different colours in Marco's field. |
