Himalayan fleece flower. (Polygonum affine ‘Darjeeling Red’) This is an excellent and very undemanding ground cover plant for almost any situation that isn’t to dry. It forms a low mat of semi evergreen foliage that turns a lovely red in the autumn. From mid Summer through to Autumn it produced an abundance of crowded little spikes of flowers that begin a pale blush pink and gradually darken to a deep brick red, creating a nice mixed tapestry of colour. 30cm in flowers, July to October. Originates in a region from Afghanistan across to Nepal.

Polygonum derives from the Greek ‘poly’ = many and ‘gonu’ = joint, alluding to the swollen nodes on the stems. Polygonum bistortum – Bistort, Snakeweed (possibly because of the twisted rhizome), Easter Ledges
