Rodgersia podophylla..

Frost damage? may not be dead will need time to recover

Thought frost, too - but you'd know that. Vine weevil?? Just stabbing, here - what a real shame. :-((

They are hardy plants but I still wonder if a late frost could have damaged the new young shoots? Slugs can be a problem with the new growth on this plant but would it then look like this?

It does look like frost to me, what a shame, anything else been affected? dont think it would be slugs....is it in a very exposed position Mushy?

Palmate, it definitely looks like frost damage to me. Even though I never get frost in my garden...I know what frost damage looks like. : > )

It could well be frost as we had a couple of cold frosty mornings last week ..

Mushybanna:

That's probably it. Hopefully, you won't be getting any more frosty mornings soon!

Hope not guess what ..By friday could be 25degrees ...SOME WARMTH at last

It's been around that same temp here for the last couple of days.

Yes, I agree, it's definitely something that's affected the outer leaves so frost is the obvious answer, unless someone has sprayed something nasty near your plant! hope it is now recovering!

The only thing that has been near it are children ..AAr goodness knows what nasty thing children can spray anywhere let alone plants.LOL..;o))))
