- Rodgers Flower (Rodgersia sp.) is rated Rarely Damaged on the Rutgers NJAES four-tier scale. Deer almost always leave this alone.
- What hardiness zones does Rodgers Flower grow in?
- Rodgers Flower is hardy in USDA zones 5 to 8. Outside that range it will either not survive winter or will struggle with summer heat. That is the range across the genus, so a named species or cultivar may be narrower.
