| I bought this at my garden club sale last year and it made it through the winter (zone 5) and has young plants. I didn't see it flower. Any idea what it is, and should I pull it out before it takes over the world?
Thanks. |

| It looks like Persicaria virginiana "Painter's Palette". I have it growing in my garden and have had no problems with it spreading. Rhonda |
|
| That's it, thanks so much. I looked and looked on internet and books and couldn't find it. Question, do you cut back the flowers to prevent it from spreading too much? Leslie |
|
| Yes, that will prevent self seeding. Rhonda |
|
| But that won't prevent it by spreading by roots. |
