Claire, Finally had a chance to hunt down an image of Fallopia
sachalinensis...it is, indeed, impressive. Appears to be as rampant
in its ways as the Japanese species.
Might be a candidate for growing in a large plastic tub, like
Petasites...sure wouldn't want to let it loose!
Have you found a source for it with cream or white edges?
