Persicaria 'Firetail'
|
|
Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Firetail’ is one of the very finest border plants. The large green leaves form an imposing architectural feature rising up to approximately 60 cm through the spring and early summer. Then the highlight is the masses of crimson spikes rising above the leaves. They just seem to last for ever throughout the summer and into autumn.
This plant will grow in any reasonable garden soil in sun or partial shade. It will thrive in heavy clay and will tolerate boggy conditions. It will also do well in quite dry well drained soil.
