Astilboides (Rodgersia) tabularis

This is a very large-leafed herbaceous perennial which can reach five feet in height under ideal conditions. The huge (to two feet across!) round deciduous leaves are peltate (like an umbrella) and bristly pubescent with an irregularly lobed margin. The white flowers are borne in a slightly nodding panicle (like an Astilbe) in early summer. A stunning accent plant for cool, moist humus-rich soils.  Excellent in the woodland garden or near water. Choice and always a “conversation piece”. Native to Manchuria and North Korea so very tolerant of cold temps. A great perennial plant - rarely offered.
