Superb late-summer perennial, prized for its deep crimson flower spikes and long flowering season. The slender, upright blooms appear in mid to late summer and continue well into autumn, drawing in pollinators and adding bold vertical interest to the border.
The foliage forms a dense, bushy mound of green leaves that provides excellent ground cover. Unlike some persicarias, 'Blackfield' is well-behaved and clump-forming, not invasive, making it ideal for naturalistic planting schemes, cottage gardens, or prairie-style borders.
A reliable and undemanding plant that thrives in a range of soils, including heavy clay.
Sold currently in 2-litre pots.
Height & Spread: 80cm x 60cm
Position: Full sun or partial shade
Soil: Moist but well-drained, tolerates heavier soils
Flowering Time: July to October
