Persicaria bistorta 'Superba'

My niece gave me a small piece of perscaria from her garden. It seemed to be thriving in pots but then it just disappeared. This one has a nice strong flower head.

I noticed mine was in flower this weekend as well ...

I bought this plant yesterday - I hope it'll be OK where I planted it!

You didn't have to wait long for it to flower then Barbara ! mine is happy in the shade under some Holly trees ......

Mine's in the sun - is that wrong?

No Barbara , I think they are at home in most situations and have even been used for ground cover on farms so it stands to reason they must be able to cope with the suns heat, I'm sure yours will be fine :o)

That's good. I put it in its place because of its colour.

I grow it with Centaurea Montana. The blue and the pink are lovely at this time of year. I have to restrict it to set areas.

It isn't going to be a thug, is it? EEEK!

superb!

Good word for it, Bik! :-)))
