Synonyms: Polygonum vaccinifolium, Persicaria vaccinifolia
Synonyms: Polygonum vaccinifolium, Persicaria vaccinifolia
Rose-carpet knotweed is a gregarious low trailing herb that quickly covers the
ground and rocks. Leaves ovate 1-2 cm, blue-green beneath. Flowers pink, in
dense cylindrical erect clusters. Flowers 3-4 mm across. Trailing stems are
red in color. This is a valuable ground-cover plant, of value for its early
autumn flowering, and will scramble over rocks and wall edges quite happily.
Native to the Himalayas, Kashmir to Bhutan.
