Persicaria

Persicaria brings lightness and color to perennial beds at a time when many other plants have finished flowering. The native species originate from moist mountain meadows, so they thrive best in the garden in soil that doesn't dry out, in a sunny or partially shaded spot. It creates dense clumps of fresh green leaves that reliably cover open ground and make it difficult for weeds to grow. Above these, slim, candle-like inflorescences rise from summer to autumn. It is perfect for naturalistic plantings and modern gardens, where it provides vertical structure to the space. It is a very vigorous and frost-hardy plant that doesn't require complex care. If you provide it with enough moisture, it will reward you with healthy growth and abundant flowering, without worrying about diseases or pests.
