Persicaria virginiana 'Painter's Palette' - avail November 2024

Shocking foliage color on this relative newcomer makes this a popular perennial! Large, oval leaves, 4-6" long are a beautiful composition of rich green, maroon chevrons in the shape of lightening bolts and butter cream colored irregular patches – each leaf is different! Bold display for part sun to medium shade…18" tall stems spreading to 2'…will grow where other plants won't, dry shade, with tree roots; not fussy about soil. Terminal flower spikes in fall with teeny red flowers – plants seed politely (this is a well mannered plant in our gardens!). Happiest in with ample water during dry spells.
