Plant Name		PERSICARIA bistorta Superba
Plant Description		Know also as Polygonum bistorta Superbum in older reference books. (These name changes are the bane of a growers life!! ) SHADE. For all the world like a dock; similar leaf, same green, .....until the superb fluffy baby pink flowers show in late spring & thru summer. A lovely plant, and one of my favourites. Happy in either full sun or light shade, as long as the soil is on the moist side, not dry. A bog plant in some countries. A little fertiliser before & after flowering will aid the growth as it really throws itself into blooming, once it is established. The plant is a vigorous clump forming perennial with a height & spread of around 60cm, when adult. Deadheading the finished spikes will extend the display, & if you want, it's & not hard to shift. Mark the planting place well. Winter dormant, slow to start showing, so don't over plant. Very Hardy. PB 3/4 size. $6.00. 1 left.
