Description

Persicaria capitata has an attractive bronze-green foliage, with masses of pink flowers on this trailing plant. It grows 6"-8" high. It blooms most of the time. It is very tender to frost but will grow vigorously with adequate water during warm weather. It makes a good groundcover, rooting along as runners spread. Plant 12" apart.

Water Saving Tip:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
