Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Fat Domino' - Knotweed - Rootstocks - 5 plants

Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Fat Domino', better known as Knotweed, is a cheerful and strong perennial that brightens up your garden from July to November with thick, dark pink-red flower spikes. It grows about 140 cm tall, so perfect for placing at the back of a border where it provides a nice vertical accent. Its long flowering period and full bloom make it a favourite with insects such as bees and butterflies, and the nice thing is: snails stay away from it!

This plant has bushy, green leaves that take on a red hue in autumn, adding extra colour to your garden. It prefers the sun in moist, humus-rich soil - a spot near the pond's edge is ideal. It grows vigorously and looks best in larger groups, but also provides a striking look on its own. The soil should not be too dry, so give it a little water if there is little rain. Otherwise, it requires little care: an easy plant that stays beautiful for a long time.

Whether you want to fill a border or create a natural garden, the 'Fat Domino' is a simple choice that gives great pleasure. With its height, colour and long flowering, it is a real asset that you will enjoy for months!
