Common Astilboides, Rodgersia tabularis
Prized for its unique foliage and architectural interest, Astilboides tabularis (Common Astilboides) is a vigorous perennial noted for its large, rounded, peltate leaves, 2-3 ft. across (60-90 cm), that resemble lily pads. Borne on long petioles rising from the ground, the superb leaves are adorned with ruffled edges and prominent veins. In late spring, creamy white plumes of Astilbe-like flowers are carried atop gracefully arching stems above the foliage. A bold specimen plant for pond or stream banks or garden areas with consistently moist soils.
