Rodger's flower
Rodger's flowers are among the boldest of plants. They have huge, interestingly shaped leaves that are green or bronzy, heavily veined, and often turn red or gold in fall. The large astilbe-like plumes of tiny flowers are an added bonus. Excellent in rain gardens and damp areas near streams and ponds, Rodger's flowers also thrive in beds and borders in humus-rich soil.

Astilbe
The red, pink, or white flower plumes of astilbe echo those of Rodger's flower, and their fernlike leaves contrast with the fingered Rodger's flower leaves in lightly shaded damp places.
IrisThe sword-shaped leaves and bright flowers of Siberian iris contrast well with Rodger's flower where soil is moist. They bloom at the same time.
Meadow rueIn light shade with humus-high soil, columbine meadowrue is an interesting tall companion for Rodger's flower.
LoosestrifeIn summer, the round bright yellow blooms of circle flower show off well against the bold foliage and flower sprays of Rodger's flowers.
