Red bistort, Persicaria amplexicaulis, is a semi-evergreen, clump-forming perennial from which long, slender spikes clustered with tiny, fluffy, crimson-red flowers appear from midsummer. Its flowers are popular with bees and other pollinators, and its foliage quickly makes dense groundcover.

Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Orange Field’ is a particularly lovely variety, bearing delicate spikes of orange-pink flowers above a mound of large, oval mid-green leaves.

Grow Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Orange Field’ in moist soil, such as in a bog garden or next to a pond. Lift and divide congested clumps in spring or autumn.
