Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Firetail'

Fleeceflower

Plant Type:

SUN PERENNIALS

Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Firetail’ – This is another terrific long-blooming Fleeceflower sporting tall showy rosy-red flower spikes from early to midsummer and well into autumn. It looks great with daylilies and Eupatorium rugosum ‘Chocolate’. It is a great contrast to summer flowering daisy-shaped flowers. And though it tolerates part shade ‘Firetail’ is robust with better flowering in full sun situations. Plant it in any good draining garden soil. 'Firetail' is a clumping perennial with a very long bloom season. It is easy, tough and demonstrates fantastic contrasting texture. Divison or cutting grown, established pot.
