Persicaria 'JS Calor'
Vibrant spires of red to orange-red flowers rise above lush green foliage, creating a dazzling display from summer through autumn. The upright blooms are carried on slender stems that sway gracefully in the breeze, adding movement, texture and long-lasting colour to the garden.
This vigorous, clump-forming perennial is an excellent choice for mixed borders, cottage gardens and naturalistic plantings. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees and other beneficial pollinators, bringing life and activity to outdoor spaces throughout the flowering season.
Thriving in full sun to part shade, it performs best in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil. Its robust nature and extended flowering period make it a dependable and rewarding garden performer, while its vivid flower colour combines beautifully with ornamental grasses and other late-season perennials.
Growing approximately 50-90cm tall and 50-100cm wide, it forms an attractive mound of foliage topped with abundant flower spikes. Easy to grow and low maintenance, it provides months of colour and garden interest while enhancing both contemporary and traditional planting schemes.
