Persicaria

Persicaria

Buckwheat Family
Polygonaceae

Persicaria are a group of hardy annuals and herbaceous perennials.

Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Inverleith’ (pictured above) is a shorter Persicaria but what it lacks in height it makes up for in colour. Its vibrant deep pink flowers are a sight to behold around the Mallard Bridge each summer.

Persicaria campanulata exhibits delicate bell-shaped white/pink flowers and also grows around Mallard Bridge.
