Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Inverleith' - 2026

Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Inverleith’ is a compact and free-flowering perennial that produces masses of slender, upright spikes of rosy-pink blooms from midsummer into autumn. Its smaller stature compared to other varieties makes it particularly well suited to smaller gardens, front-of-border planting, or naturalistic schemes where a splash of late-season colour is needed. The flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, ensuring it plays an important ecological role as well as offering ornamental value.

This variety thrives in moist, fertile soil and grows well in full sun to partial shade. Hardy and resilient in the UK climate, it forms neat, dense clumps that require little maintenance, needing only a tidy cut back in late winter to encourage fresh growth in spring. Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Inverleith’ is ideal for gardeners looking for long-lasting colour, reliable performance, and pollinator-friendly planting in a smaller, manageable form.
