Description

A naming mess.  Even experts cannot agree on the name.  Flora of China calls this Polygonum amplexicaule var. amplexicaule and lists 7 synonyms. The Missouri Botanic Garden says this is the same as Persicaria amplexicaule ‘Firetail.’  Regardless of the name it’s a queen of flowers with magenta spikes lasting from late June to October. One of internationally known garden designer Piet Oudolf’s “MUST HAVE” plants.  Gardens Illustrated 94 (2013)
