| I so love this plant in my garden. The leaves are arrow head shaped, foliage is bright and the flowers are long lasting. As well this particular persicaria ("Golden Arrow") is well-behaved. These two plants were previously in a too sunny location. I moved both first year plants in late July and they have thrived in this much more shady environment. |

| That is pretty. I like my Persicaria virginiana 'Painter's Palette. If I cut the flowers off they do not spread. The flowers are not pretty anyway but the foliage is gorgeous.

| I too like PP marquest. There are few plants with more striking foliage. I went cuckoo on them a few years back but have since removed some. But for sure seedlings arise all over although they are easy to remove. |

| Have Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Firetail', which I read described as "vigorous but not invasive". It's not too bad. The one I have recently used extensively is the dwarf P. affinis 'Dimity'. It's a vigorous spreader, but useful ground cover and it's very easy to chop bits off and move them around with a spade. |

| Rouge - What is the peachy-flowered plant to the left and what is the clematis to the right? Thanks! |
|
| Now having had "Golden Arrow" for a couple of seasons its good performance in pretty significant shade was something I wasn't expecting and so does open up lots of potential areas for planting this particular persicaria. Having said this it is not readily available for purchase. |

| The 'peachy' one is an annual...a "Fusion Gold Exotic Impatiens". The clem flower is one of not very many remaining from a nearby "Polish Spirit". |
