Mountain Fleece Blackfield

Common Name: Mountain Fleece

Botanical Name: Persicaria amplexicaulis

Variety: Blackfield

Blossom Color: Red

Bloom Time: Jul-Sep

Zone: 4 to 9

Exposure: Sun or Part Shade

Mature Height: 24-30"

Notes: Unlike some weedy varieties of Persicaria, this selection is clump forming and well behaved. Spikes of blood red flowers held on long graceful stems bloom mid-summer into fall. Great in a naturalized planting.
