Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Firetail' syn. Polygonum amplexicaule 'Fire Tail'

This is looking really good this year, except for a few rusty looking leaves ♥️♥️💜

@dirtgirlworld Thank you Maggie ♥️♥️

It's that time of the year unfortunately 😢

@pelly I'm not ready for it at all 😓😓

It’s such an easy plant - I keep dividing mine

@sharonhayden After it's finished flowering I think I'll do that. It's really multiplied in size ♥️♥️

Used to be red, but now #pink 😳💕💕

Amazingly beautiful. 😍

@philstalder Why thank you 💕💕

#still flowering 😊😊❤❤

I love that raspberry red colour....

Yes it's a great colour. I think I need to add something to the soil for next year as the foliage is a nasty rusty look to it. Lacking in Nitrogen or something?

The Periscaria are very resulient to this wet weather. I'm so glad about that. Strong and sturdy are they 😊😊❤❤

Persicaria are just brilliant. #gardenheroes

@valjones-hughes They sure are Val. I need more!!😊😊

I think they might make you more 🤔🤪

@sharonhayden Oh they have but I think it's next year when I was advised to split them. I'd love them everywhere in my garden 😊😊

These really have multiplied this year and were only planted last year. Amazing!!😊😊❤❤

These are looking really good now 👌

@jeatacake Thank you Jeff. They were another nice surprise when I got home and they are my favourites along with Salvias!!😊😊❤❤

I'm thrilled with these this year 😃they've really multiplied and boy they look super where they are!!❤❤❤❤

They do look good🤞 Another new one to me. 🙂

How tall are these. My bistort is small but spreads really well as ground cover, this one looks taller 😍

@angiecrazycatlady I'd say easily one foot tall. Ooh I must look at yours if you've got a pic? I really love them. I'm attracted to spikey plants and ooh my the colour of this plant is just my thing!!😊😊❤❤

Yes I'm sure I have pics on my plant list. I love the colour change in the flower spikes they even look good when they have gone brown 😊

These are my new favourite plant, there are lots of varieties from small to large. I have grown some from seed I collected last year although they went through the winter before they germinated. @midnightgardener

It took me a while.to add.this in the encyclopaedia. So many questions and I found out everthing I could on my Crocus order. I got a bit confused!😕Normal service is now resumed, 😃I expect great things from this plant this year. They've been a long time coming out but that could be my impatience. I've got several more to bloom but here's one for now. I'll be trying my best to lift and devide in Autumn it would be nice to have them somewhere else 😊😊❤❤

@jeatacake This is Periscaria 😊😊

I personally wouldn’t lift and divide for at least a couple of years, it needs to establish itself first Christine. By the way, it’s still come up an needing an id 🤔🤔

@pelly Oh no! After all that time I spent entering details. I know exactly what it is. I better.go back and start again arrrrrgh! Thank you for letting me know and for the plant info. I only bought it last year so too soon to lift it and they are tough sturdy 'I'm staying here' plants 😃

Very nice👌 A new one on me👍

It is pretty!

@jeatacake @kimguy I'm glad you like it and it's a new one for the encyclopaedia 😊😊
