Description
Persicaria bistorta 'Superba', or Bistort, is a lovely perennial with tall, soft pink flower spikes that bloom from late spring to midsummer. These fluffy flowers stand above clumps of fresh green, heart-shaped leaves, creating a graceful, natural look that works well in cottage gardens, meadows, or near water features.
This plant thrives in moist or heavy soils, making it a great choice for challenging spots where other plants might not grow. It has a compact, upright shape, reaching up to 75 cm tall, adding height and interest to garden beds or group plantings. Easy to care for, 'Superba' is perfect for gardeners who want beauty without much effort.
Pollinator-friendly, it attracts bees, butterflies, and other helpful insects, supporting garden wildlife. Whether planted as a feature or in large drifts, its soft pastel flowers and hardy nature make it a classic addition to any garden.
