Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

Persicaria 'Maculosa'

I ask, @Mimi58 @lesliecole49 because all I can find are fancy cultivated varieties on Google. There are photos of this one but none labeled with the Latin name. This is creeping up the water chute in my side yard and I'm trying to figure out whether it's a native or an invasive...

Cool, I'll look it up, see if it's what I've got. I'd love to kill it with fire! It's an invasive pain
