âFireworksâ rodgersia (Rodgersia âFireworksâ) is a shade-loving perennial growing in USDA zones 5 through 8. This plant is tolerant of wet sites and produces pink flower spikes in the summer that grow to about 3 feet tall.
The bulk of soil is made up of a mixture of organic matter, rock and mineral particles. However, it's the air, water and nutrients in the ground that the growing plant really relies on. These are taken up by the roots and then used by the plant to form flowers and leaves.
Soil types by clay, silt and sand composition as used by the United States Department of Agriculture. Loam is soil composed mostly of sand (particle size > 63 Âµm), silt (particle size > 2 Âµm), and a smaller amount of clay (particle size < 2 Âµm). Its composition is about 40â40â20% concentration of sand-silt-clay, respectively. These proportions can vary to a degree, however, and result in different types of loam soils: sandy loam, silty loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, silty clay loam, and loam.
