Description

Persicaria capitata has an attractive bronze-green foliage, with masses of pink flowers on this trailing plant. It grows 6"-8" high. It blooms most of the time. It is very tender to frost but will grow vigorously with adequate water during warm weather. It makes a good groundcover, rooting along as runners spread. Plant 12" apart.

Water Saving Tip:

Adjust your irrigation controller frequently as weather changes. Plants need much less water in spring and fall than during mid-summer.
