| There are several periscarias I like very much but I would really like to 'try out' this one. (However it seems difficult to find). I am just wondering if there are GW members who have this plant in their garden and if so I would love to hear some details. |

| I have persicaria affinis dimity, while not what your looking for the growing conditions appear to be the same. With height and spread also seeming to be equal. So far there has been no seeding ( left seeds on plant to check). Very nice spreading and easy to pull up in spring if one wishes to control spread.Have it planted in moist soil full sun. Stays low to ground flowers rising above foliage. I've seen sites that describe flowers as reddish. They are not. They open soft pink turning rose pink. So far not a weed has popped up thru it. Very cute plant that is planted in front border of pink rose bed. Kids play basket ball up there so it's been stepped on with no injury. Maybe someone else has the one your looking for. I'm guessing they might be some what alike in many ways. |

| Thanks 'patty'. I know Sunnyborders speaks highly of dimity but I believe that "Superba" is significantly taller (about 2 feet). (But I now see that this plant "requires" moist soil which is problematic for my location). |
