Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Ample Pink'
A pink-flowered selection forming substantial mounds of lush foliage with upright flower spikes. The pink colouration provides softer tones than red cultivars. Plants nestle between neighbours, filling spaces while maintaining vertical growth habit.
Highly adaptable to various soil conditions excluding dry sites. One of the longest-flowering perennials, beginning in late June and continuing with increasing abundance until frost. Excellent for filling and melding with other plants in borders. Clumping habit without invasive tendencies.
