Persicaria filiformis 'Painter's Palette'
(Syn: P. virginiana)
Fleece Flower
Grown for its fantastic foliage, each leaf is painted with swirls of green and creamy white accented by a burgundy chevron. Tiny red flowers appear on wispy stems late in the season; deadhead to prevent reseeding. Prefers but doesn't demand fertile, moist soils. Best with some afternoon shade.
