Growing and Maintenance Tips
Persicaria is a big plant so it needs moisture and good soil to reach its potential. It is growing in our garden in some shade and is very vigourous. It may require some staking as the clump matures because flowering is profuse and the flower heads can become very heavy if there is a lot of rainfall. Cut it down in the fall as soon as the frost hits the foliage.
