Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Fat Domino' - 2026

Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Fat Domino’ is a robust perennial celebrated for its unusually thick, chunky flower spikes in a rich shade of deep red. Rising gracefully above large, bold green foliage, the blooms make a dramatic statement from midsummer into autumn. Its upright habit and striking colour make it particularly effective in mixed borders, prairie-style plantings, or as a structural feature where long-lasting colour and wildlife appeal are desired. The abundant flowers provide an excellent nectar source, attracting bees and butterflies throughout the season.

Thriving in moist, fertile soil, this variety is best planted in full sun to partial shade, where it will establish quickly and form a dense clump. Hardy and reliable in the UK climate, Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Fat Domino’ requires very little maintenance, aside from cutting back spent stems in late winter to encourage strong new growth in spring. With its unique floral character and strong garden presence, it offers both ornamental beauty and ecological value.
