Botanical Name
Persicaria orientalis 'Cerise Pearls'
A smaller variety of the old-fashioned romantic named favourite, ‘Kiss-me-over-the-garden-gate’. This hardy annual grows to 150 cm and provides plenty of interest due to the arching branches fabulously loaded with rosy-red flower spikes. The large heart shaped leaves also provide an exotic and impressive appeal. Flowers well into autumn and a great beneficial insect attractor. 25 seeds.
