Rodgersia sambucifolia

Overview

Elderberry Rodgersia, also known as Rodgersia sambucifolia, is a fast-growing, deciduous, perennial shrub. It has dark, glossy green, palm-shaped leaves and dark brown, woody stems. In spring, the plant produces large clusters of off-white flowers that provide pollinators with a generous supply of nectar. In the fall, the foliage turns shades of yellow and crimson, while it produces bunches of small, dark, edible berries. The plant grows best in areas that receive partial to full sun and plenty of moisture and makes an attractive addition to any garden.
