Description
Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Summer Dance,’ or Bistort, is a reliable perennial with slender, arching flower spikes that add beauty and movement to garden borders. Blooming from midsummer to fall, its soft pinkish-red flowers stand out against dense, mid-green leaves. The name ‘Summer Dance’ reflects its lively blooms that sway gracefully in the breeze, bringing a sense of flow and energy to any garden.
This plant is perfect for gardeners looking for a long-blooming, easy-to-grow perennial. It thrives in both sun and partial shade and grows well in various soils, including heavier clay. Its clump-forming habit makes it ideal for softening borders, naturalistic plantings, or filling spaces in flower beds. At full growth, it reaches about 120 cm tall, making it great for adding height and interest to garden designs.
Low-maintenance and pollinator-friendly, ‘Summer Dance’ attracts bees and butterflies, making it a wonderful addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. Whether paired with grasses or mixed perennials, it provides months of colour and charm.
