Description
Embrace your inner flamboyance with a fabulous flock of Persicaria 'Flamingo Feathers'! This new cultivar has the exotic colour spot-on, producing multiple feathery flower spikes which last from mid-summer through to early autumn every year. Despite its tropical looks, this perennial is hardy, resilient and will spread over time to fill a good space with long-lasting colour and lush foliage. Not only will Persicaria 'Flamingo Feathers' form a perfect patch of pink in your summer garden for you to enjoy, but bees and other pollinators will love its nectar-rich flowers too.
Also known as bistort or bistorta, Persicaria have long been a popular choice for herbaceous borders. They’re gutsy and reliable, low maintenance yet striking. Its height makes this quite a high-impact plant, plus the upright flower spikes provide an interesting texture. Try planting Persicaria 'Flamingo Feathers' in a few groups with plant neighbours such as Crocosmia, Eryngium, Salvia, Echinacea, Sedum, Helenium and ornamental grasses like Panicum or Miscanthus.

Useful information
-
Soak your Persicaria 'Flamingo Feathers' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.
Plant your "Pink bistort" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
