Make a big impression with impressive Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Fat Domino' (or Red Bistort), a burly character with a spirited flair of enthusiasm, perfectly suited to mixed sunny borders and cottage gardens. Throwing out a fountain of long, rigid stems each topped with a tail-like cluster of crimson blooms, it’s impressive without being hard work. Fast growing and relatively quick to establish, even in year one it rattles things up with some clout!

This Persicaria variety has almost a grassy appeal to it, with chunky sword-like leaves starting at the base of each stem. Over the years it forms a good clump with multiple stems, appearing as a soft haze of pink from a distance, also attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. A gorgeous addition for a mixed flower border where it’ll proudly stand its ground with a sturdy, upright display during summer every year. Being resilient and drought tolerant, Persicaria 'Fat Domino' is also a good one for trendy gravel gardens.
