Persicaria affinis 'Darjeeling Red' - ex 9cm Pot

Persicaria ‘Darjeeling Red’ or Bistorta ‘Darjeeling Red’ as it is also known is a versatile perennial that will spread into a semi-evergreen carpet over time. It has mats of neat green leaves which turn a rich russet brown in autumn making this plant an excellent choice for autumn colour and winter interest. Spikes of long lasting flowers which are initially soft-pink coloured quickly deepen to red. These appear in mid summer and last until autumn. A very low maintenance plant which works well in most planting schemes. Attractive to bees and other beneficial pollinators. It has earned the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Flowers July to October.

Thrives best in a moist but well drained or poorly drained soil in sun or partial shade.

Maximum height/spread approx 50cm x 50cm.

Plants will be supplied well rooted and ready for immediate planting out.  My plants are hard grown i.e. grown outside as soon as they have developed a strong enough root system to survive.  This makes them stronger, healthier & more weather tolerant plants than those which have been grown on rapidly in artificial conditions in a greenhouse.

Postage & Delivery

Plants will be removed from the pot, carefully packed & then sent in secure cardboard packaging to protect them whilst in the postal system. I offer a postage discount for multiple purchases dispatched to the same address. When you buy more than one item you will pay the full postage cost for the first item only, then a discounted rate for each extra item purchased (please see 'postage and payments' tab above for full details). I use Royal Mail for small orders whilst orders over 2kg will be sent by carrier so the MAXIMUM postage you pay need only be £9.95 for any amount of plants. Highland, Island & Offshore delivery addresses may incur additional charges.

PLEASE NOTE - Plants will only be dispatched by either Royal Mail 1^st Class or carrier to minimize the amount of time spent in the postal system. Plants will be dispatched by Royal Mail on the Monday to Thursday following receipt of cleared funds (to avoid plants sitting in the sorting depot over the weekend) and by carrier on the Monday to Wednesday. 

Thanks for looking!
