Persicaria Bistort is a resilient and versatile addition to the garden. Its upright, slender flower spikes bloom from midsummer to autumn, showcasing shades of crimson, pink, white, or even soft purple, depending on the variety. Beneath the flowers, lush, often semi-evergreen foliage creates a dense and attractive ground cover, perfect for suppressing weeds and softening edges.
Persicaria is particularly valued for its adaptability, flourishing in full sun to partial shade and coping well with moist, even heavy soils that may challenge other plants. Its long flowering period and nectar-rich blooms make it a favourite for pollinators, enhancing the biodiversity of any garden. Whether you’re looking to add height to a border, brighten a shaded area, or create a naturalistic planting scheme, Persicaria delivers beauty and reliability year after year.
