What Houzzers are commenting on:
Rogersias have large textural leaves, some types have this reddish colour. Foliage contrasts really well with this tiny-leved shrub adjacent.
Same color, different size. Here, the brick red of the rodgersia is echoed in the ‘Little Heath’ Japanese andromeda. Even the leaf shapes are similar. The striking contrast in foliage size makes this pairing in a Pacific Northwest garden successful. Plant combo: ‘Rotlaub’ rodgersia (Rodgersia podophylla ‘Rotlaub’, zones 4 to 9) ‘Little Heath’ Japanese andromeda (Pieris japonica ‘Little Heath’, zones 5 to 9) Light requirement: Partial sun to shade Water requirement: Medium; occasional water during dry months
