Finally uploaded my picture. Can anyone tell if this is persicaria? (I KNOW what the bigger seedling is! LOL)

hmmm, I don't think so Marcia, I'll see if I can take a photo tomorrow of those seedlings that I moved today.

Perhaps Susan can take a photo of hers too ;)

Ohhh Marcia that is pretty tiny - you must have better eyesight than me... :)

Last year I had to have help to identify my persicaria as well because my container had two different sprouts growing. Here is the thread with my picture.

I think that my one single post to you hardly qualifies as "bugging you." Also, you already posted this once, and are now posting it twice in a couple of weeks. If you aren't having luck here ( and you posted twice so you obviously aren't) then the plant trading forum seems like it would be the best place to get what you want. Why is pointing out an appropriate forum to you considered "bugging you". I thought it would be useful to you.

I guess by now you know that it won't grow from seeds. I'm just wondering how far south it will grow.

Oh my, that is gorgeous. I have Taurus which also has a more limey foilage color (especially in partial shade) but nothing like yours. Unfortunately mine suffers by this time of year and always looks past its’ prime by the first of September, yours still looks vibrant. Mine was in partial shade from a large Robinia and held its’ color longer but needed large quantities of water to compete with the tree (that tree is another story). Now that the tree is gone, the plant is not as thirsty but the colors have lost their intensity in full sun. Is yours in partial shade?

I really like the look of this plant and would like to try it in the garden, but I'm concerned it will be too invasive? How troublesome is it for you? Like in the same category as a Campanula punctata, mint or monarda? Or is it more manageable? Thanks, Chris

Susan - the picture isn't exactly life-size! LOL It's tiny, though. So, it doesn't look like persicaria at all. K, everyone retract their congratulations! I'll let it grow and see what it is. Something as noxious as the other sprout in there, probably!

Here's the seedling that I transplanted yesterday, this one has two attached to the same root.

Its looks sulky right now, but if I keep on watering, I'm sure he'll make it.

Not even close! Oh well, all is not lost. Among the things i came back from Thunder Bay with was a "Giant Fleece Flower". It must have been a present from Gale. Either that or i ended up with someone else's purchase!

Checked that plant i came home with. Giant, nothing. It's a persicaria carpet something or other. Ground cover! LOL The search continues...
