Persicaria microphylla 'Red Dragon'

Cracking leaves Spritz, is it as persistent as some of its relatives?

No - it reaches out with its stems. and I discovered that they sometimes root themselves...then tiny flowers appear. I shall know how to keep it under control this year!

The leaves look as if made of silk

I hadn't seen that before! I just love this plant - and I have GOY to thank, because I first saw it on here.

I have often heard Carol Klein referring to this plant....its a favourite of hers.......lovely..

I'm not surprised...maybe she's been looking at GOY as well! LOL.

Have planted ours now, love the colour, now that I have washed the pigeon deposits off!!

Ho hum - they are a pain in a garden, aren't they!

sure are, wish they would clear off to France.....

Or Russia, or the moon...the further away, the better! LOL.
