Bistorta officinalis 'Superba'
£5.00Price
Some will say it looks too much like a weed! But we love this plant, it looks amazing in Peter's garden amongst grasses, Cirsium, Geraniums and Salvias. I have just planted it in mine and it filling out already. Quick to spread so it is a great ground cover plant that tolerates most conditions. Loved by the bees and other pollinators too.
Fully hardy and very easy to grow.
