i received a freebie collection from Terra Nova Nurseries that included an 
amazing  polygonum among the nice heucheras and tiarellas that dominated. 
alas, it's zone 9, but Polygonum orientale 'Shiro-gane Nishiki' quickly grew 
from 6 inches to 5 feet with a very strong central stem that has stood 
straight up despite the whipping wind that roars in from the west between my 
house and the next door neighbor's. the leaves are variegated and up to 6 
inches long and sort of suede-velvety. flowers are a nice pink and once it 
started blooming, the plant turned into a vertitable candelabra of arching 
pink flowers.  Terra Nova says its true from seed, so i'm definitely going to 
want to grow this again. i'm in Chicago. carolyn ulrich
