About the Red Dragon :
The Persicaria ‘Red Dragon’ is a wonderful
variety in the Persicaria family. With its superb,
variegated maroon leaves with burgundy heart shaped
centers and a white chevron, it has a plant height
of 2’ and a spread of 18-23”. The flowers are white
and bloom in June and July, but this plant is more
noted for its foliage.
‘Red Dragon’ should be planted in a full sun area
but can tolerate some afternoon shade. Sun will make
the foliage look its best. It does need a
well-drained area, making sure it is not over
watered. ‘Red Dragon’ will look great in any
perennial garden, in mixed container, woodland edge
or near ponds and streams.
