This special Persicaria amplexicaulis with its impressive flowering splendour makes the heart of garden lovers beat faster. The slender, signal red spikes of the candle knotweed attract all eyes and give every garden a special touch. It originates in China, the Himalayan mountains and Pakistan. The flowering period will be from June to September, give it a place in partial shade. The growth height is about 90 to 100 cm. It is a valuable perennial that will add colour to your garden well into autumn. Knotweed likes to be in moist ground, but is a largely undemanding plant that also thrives in less nutrient-rich soil. This plant will die back in winter to sprout again with all its energy in spring. This eye-catching perennial is particularly suitable for planting around water borders or as the background of a bed. Place these plants in your garden as special eye-catchers.
