Re: some questions
I'm wondering if the Persicaria I have is the same as what is being
discussed. Mine is too tall to be considered a "ground cover". The
leaves had fairly good variegation when I bought it, but after 2 months in
full sun, it seems faded. Should it be planted in shade?
Mine is probably about 20" tall.
