Good Qualities
Year 1
Wonderful pink color pink (4); Long vase life (3); Looked good in our posy bundles; Great plant. Customers liked it. I loved it.
Year 2
Great crimson color (2); This is a surprising plant. It looks nice when it is kept damp and it is very productive; Very airy. Very strong grower; Flowered all season and looked best in fall; Good length and good production; Long lasting.
Problems
Year 1
It regrew slowly after being cut. Short blooms; We are learning when to cut. Takes many stems to make a bunch 20-25; Hard to know when it’s ready to cut.
Year 2
Keeping roots wet. Overwintering (must be mulched heavily). Roots tend to come up out of ground; Lots of stems to make a bunch; Unable to sell because foliage turned reddish brown like it was burnt.

Comments
Year 1
The real test – will it overwinter in zone 3. Very hot dry summer; This is a winner! I have been cutting on these plants for 6 weeks. Florists love it – spike with great color; Excellent product. Good response after we introduced to buyers. Will do more; This dries very well. Florists really like this one; I have been growing Polygonum supurbum for 3 years and have yet to sell a good stem. It is just too short. Maybe this year – plants look good!; I hope this one makes it through the winter but I’m not sure. I loved it. Great in bouquets. Nice to have a spiky flower that color.
Year 2
More delicate and latter bloomer than Persicaria bistorta superba; Very vigorous.
