Persicaria Speciosa will arrive at your home as a beautifully rooted seedling that you can plant immediately in its permanent location. This undemanding long-lived perennial will thrive best in the sun or in partial shade. Due to its origin in damp mountain meadows, it requires plenty of moisture. The ideal soil for it is heavier, loamy, or clayey, which is well-draining but can also retain moisture. Do not forget to enrich the soil with quality compost so that it is sufficiently humous. If you have drier spots in the garden, you better avoid them or expect the need for regular and heavy watering. Mulching is also a suitable solution, which will help retain the necessary moisture in the soil.
During the actual planting, maintain a spacing of 50 to 70 centimeters, which corresponds to about three to five plants per square meter. Persicaria will gradually form sturdy clumps growing to a height of 100 to 120 centimeters and needs enough living space around it for good air circulation. Although the plant is extraordinarily resistant and will please you by not suffering from absolutely any diseases or pests, proper spacing will still support its overall vitality. Although Persicaria is quite tall, it has strong stems and does not require any support. The carmine-pink inflorescences appear from July to October and are a huge attraction for bees and other pollinators. If you like making bouquets, do not hesitate to cut the flowers for a vase; they will last there a very long time.
During the season, care mainly consists of ensuring enough water. You can safely grow the plant in large containers or spacious planter boxes on the terrace. In such a case, however, ensure that the substrate never dries out completely, and at the same time, provide drainage for excess water to prevent root rot. Container plants will also appreciate regular fertilizing with liquid fertilizer. In autumn, as soon as the first frosts strike, the above-ground part of the plant naturally dies back. You can cut the dry stems just above the ground before winter or leave them in the bed until spring. Persicaria is fully hardy down to -28 °C, but in the first year after planting, we recommend protecting the roots with a layer of leaves or pine branches so that the young seedling has time to adapt safely.
