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.
The particles that make up soil are categorized into three groups by size: sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest and clay particles the smallest. Although a soil could be all sand, all clay, or all silt, that's rare. Instead most soils are a combination of the three.
