Persicaria aff. Darjeeling Red 2lt

This fleece flower has elliptical green leaves which turn from deep green to bronze in winter. The flowers are spires of deep pinkish-red pokers which are held throughout the summer. It makes good ground cover and is excellent on banks or walls. Tolerant of very dry conditions, but makes excellent groundcover. It is a semi-evergreen perennial, forming a mat of lance-shaped leaves, often becoming red in autumn; in summer dense spikes of small flowers open pink, becoming dark red when mature.
