Persicaria Amplexcaulis Firetail

Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Firetail' is a herbaceous perennial with an upright, clump-forming habit. It bears striking spikes of densely packed, small, deep red flowers that stand out against the mid-green foliage, which turns fiery red in autumn. This plant is perfect for adding late-summer colour to a mixed or herbaceous border, and is well-suited to cottage garden schemes.
