Persicaria affinis 'Superba' creates a carpet-like mat of semi-evergreen, dense, lush green foliage which helps to keep moisture in the soil while preventing weeds from taking hold. In autumn it takes on incredible shades of bronze and red. From June to October, charming flower stems up to 8cm long rise above, and become densely packed with tiny, pale flowers that darken to crimson red as they mature.
