Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Taurus' - 2026

Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Taurus’ is a robust and striking perennial, producing dense, upright spikes of deep crimson-red flowers from midsummer into autumn. The vibrant blooms rise above broad, green foliage, providing height, colour, and texture to mixed borders, naturalistic plantings, or wildlife-friendly gardens. Its long flowering season and nectar-rich flowers make it highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, enhancing its ecological value.

Thriving in moist, fertile soil, this hardy perennial prefers full sun to partial shade and forms strong, vigorous clumps that require minimal maintenance. Cutting back old stems in late winter encourages fresh spring growth and keeps the plant tidy. Persicaria amplexicaulis ‘Taurus’ is a reliable, long-flowering, and visually impactful choice for adding structure, colour, and wildlife support to UK gardens.
