Persicaria vacciniifolia

Persicaria vacciniifolia is a low, spreading perennial forming a carpet of small green leaves topped with slender spikes of soft pink flowers from late summer into autumn. Its creeping habit makes it useful for groundcover, banks, edging and planting over low walls.

Why we like it

• Soft pink flowers late in the season
• Low spreading habit provides useful groundcover
• Good choice for naturalistic and cottage-style planting

What to know

• Grow in full sun or partial shade.
• Plant in moist but well-drained soil.
• Water during prolonged dry spells while establishing.
• Allow space for the plant to spread naturally.
• Cut back old growth in late winter or early spring.
