Persicaria affinis 'Darjeeling Red', also known as knotweed, is an excellent and popular evergreen ground cover, often prized for its spectacular color changes and vigorous growth. This variety is distinguished by its compact and mat-forming growth habit, making it perfect for creating a dense carpet of plants in borders, garden beds, or even in containers.

Features: 'Darjeeling Red' retains its green foliage throughout the growing season, providing continuous structure and texture in the garden. It is hardy, robust, and has the great advantage of effectively suppressing weeds due to its rapid, covering growth. During the flowering period, it treats you to striking flower spikes that change color from light pink to deep red, while the foliage takes on a beautiful, bright color in the fall. Thanks to its strong constitution, it is also a very low-maintenance plant that makes few demands on the gardener.

Appearance icon Appearance

Persicaria affinis 'Darjeeling Red' is characterized by its lanceolate leaves and upright flower spikes. The flowers display a fascinating color gradient: they open light pink and deepen to an intense red-pink hue during the season. The plant forms a dense mat about 15 to 25 centimeters high. The plant is at its best in the fall, when both the faded flowers and the foliage turn deep red and bronze tones.

Location icon Location

This knotweed thrives best in full sun to partial shade. Although the plant is suitable for various soil types, it prefers moist but well-drained soil. In full sun, the color of the flowers and autumn foliage will be most intense, provided the soil does not dry out completely.

Water requirement icon Water Demand

The water requirements of Darjeeling Red are average. It is important to check the soil regularly and water sufficiently, especially in the initial period after planting and during hot, dry summers. The plant likes slightly moist soil, but once established it is reasonably tolerant, as long as the soil does not remain bone dry for long periods.
