Persicaria vaccinifolia
A superb low-growing ground cover, Persicaria vaccinifolia is a spreading perennial known for its attractive foliage and charming pink flowers. Its small, glossy, deep green leaves resemble those of a blueberry plant (hence the name vaccinifolia) and take on rich red and bronze tones in autumn. From late summer into early autumn, delicate spikes of soft pink flowers rise above the foliage, adding a gentle yet effective splash of colour.
Height & Spread: Flowers reach around 20cm in height, spreads up to 1m, forming a dense mat.
Soil: Thrives in well-drained, moisture-retentive soil; tolerates a range of conditions.
Position: Prefers full sun to partial shade; ideal for edging, slopes, or softening paths.
Flowering Time: Late summer into autumn
