Persicaria bistorta "Superba"

I have always wanted to give this particular Persicaria a try in our garden but until today I have never seen it at any nursery.

Do any of you have "Superba" in your garden?

Yes, I do.

I bet it's not a plant that looks good in a gallon pot, maybe more of a tough sell in the garden center problem than it is any comment on how good the plant is..... If that's what you were thinking...
Rouge- don't you have a couple persicarias already? Or are they all the chartreuse leaved one who's name I can't think if right now?'

For sure. Nurseries can't carry everything but I was surprised at how hard it was to come across this particular variety. From pictures I have seen I look forward to having it in my garden. I frequent so many nurseries and I have kept my eyes open for "Superba" and it was just a fluke I came across it yesterday as this particular nursery actually doesn't have that great a selection.

You know me too well ;). I have I have "Golden Arrows", "Painters Palette", "Dimity", "Polymorpha" and now "Superba".
