Persicaria microcephala ‘Silver Dragon’


Fleeceflower

USDA Zone: 6-9

Plant number: 1.406.770


A beautiful foliage perennial. Pointy heart-shaped leaves are silver with a mint green V-shaped marking, and a bronze centre and edge. Plants are mounding, bearing sprays of tiny white flowers in late summer. An excellent foliage plant in the border, and especially good in tubs or mixed containers. The gorgeous colour tones of the leaves blend well with nearly anything! Not invasive. In cold winter climates this plant is well worth growing as a foliage accent, treating it as an annual or wintering indoors in pots. USPP#16421: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
