Persicaria
Knotweed
Poor Persicaria! Certain weedy, invasive members of the genus have given the rest a bad name, and discouraged gardeners from getting to know these versatile performers. Our garden-worthy selections are happiest in semishade with ample moisture.
Evolving from a 2002 Belgian breeding program, ‘Fat Domino’s leafy deep green foundation hosts a rubescent surge of long chubby, dark red racemes that don purplish overtones. Dashing, large pointed textural foliage is loosely arranged on numerous staunch, upright jointed stems. With a reliable saucy stance plus sumptuous enduring flowers, this strong growing Persicaria can be positioned right up front and superimposed against white-flowering Verbascum ‘Flush of White’, where it easily turns heads until the season’s end.
Blooms August–October
Size: 3' 0" high x 3' 0" wide.
