Rodgersia pinnata Chocolate Wings - A bold perennial of impressive shrub-like size, rodgersia presents huge, beautifully quilted leaves on long stalks. The foliage transitions through many colors, emerging chocolate brown then changing to green, bronze, and red before returning to brown in fall. Even the flowers go through a color transition, opening a pale pink and darkening to burgundy-red over time. They are produced in early summer on tall stalks well above the foliage  Family : Saxifragaceae
