    I grow Astilbes close to a Rodgersia, whose leaves are also emerging a beautiful bronze colour.

    Have just ordered 3 Astilbe Shogun (1 for my daughter)

    Great recommendation Verdun image It looks superb.

    Where am I going to find space??

    Verdun, I grow them both in my bog garden, but as you say, if Astilbes will grow, so should Rodgersias.

    No sign of Astilbes coming through here, but I love the emerging foliage of the Acteas - feathery and dark too  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Oh yes beautiful. Mine are such a deep glorious red ! Have had a look at the shogun and I want one too

    You could easily make one Verdun.

    As you know, it gives a lot of scope for different plants.

    You know you need one !

    Meant to say, there is a beautiful small Rheum, called Ace of Hearts, I think, which would be fantastic. I am thinking of getting one.
