Persicaria runcinata ‘Purple Fantasy’

Lovely plant grown mainly for its striking foliage with bands of varied colours.

Established plants in two-litre containers

Description

Persicaria runcinata ‘Purple Fantasy’ is a perennial plant grown principally for its mounding, exotic multi-coloured foliage. The foliage grows on upright stems, and creeps vigorously from stout rhizomes. Triangular leaves emerge maroon-purple in spring, turning green and developing purple markings, with leaf undersides tinged pink; these are held on short winged stalks. Tiny pink or white flowers in 1cm pompoms bloom in profusion and are borne on stem tips of slender stems from midsummer to autumn.
These established, garden-ready plants have been grown at our nursery in Cornwall in peat-free compost, and are supplied in two-litre containers. They will grow to an ultimate height of about 60cm (24 inches) and a spread of around 100-150cm (40-60 inches).

Growing Advice

Persicaria runcinata plants are generally pretty easy plants to grow. They can be vigorous, so appreciate some room to grow into. They are not very fussy about soil but get on better in soil that remains moist (but not water-logged), particularly when grown in full sun. Full sun isn’t absolutely necessary, but the colouration tends to be stronger where the plant can be given more sun.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
