I was pleased to see Persicaria polymorpha in your post... I'd never seen it pictured in a blog before. It's a plant that I almost passed on for concern that it might be a thug... I didn't and mine has been very well behaved for the past few years... in fact, I'm glad to have found a single offset this year as I'd like it in more spots in the gardens! Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos... Larry <em>Thanks Larry! The Persicaria is much better behaved than it looks like it should be but I have to say it's a bear to dig up. I'm a little worried that our clump has suddenly reached maximum capacity. Division won't be easy! -kris </em> What beautiful gardens!
