Persicaria ‘Brushstrokes’

This stunning persicaria was brought into the US by Terra Nova’s Dan Heims, who saw it in a garden in Tasmania. We have been unable to determine the species so far. The leaves are darker green and much thicker than Persicaria ‘Painters Palette’, with a unique, velvety appearance highlighted by a dark chevron pattern. The 2′ tall, upright clumps are topped with alien-like, red-flowering antennae in very late fall; therefore, seeding is minimized in most climates.
