Persicaria amplexicaulis 'White Eastfield'

Common Name:
Persicaria 'White Eastfield'

Description:
Persicaria amplexicaulis 'White Eastfield' is a refined and elegant clump-forming perennial celebrated for its slender spikes of pure white flowers that rise gracefully above a mound of lush, mid-green foliage. Blooming generously from mid-summer through to mid-autumn, this variety adds a light, airy presence to garden beds, borders, and naturalistic plantings. The narrow, bottlebrush-style flower spikes provide long seasonal interest and are particularly striking when mass planted or woven through mixed perennial schemes. It thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring moist, well-drained soil and a position in full sun to part shade. Once established, it is surprisingly tolerant of dry spells, especially in shaded positions, and is rarely troubled by pests or disease. 'White Eastfield' is perfect for softening hard lines in landscaping and blending seamlessly into cottage, woodland, or meadow-style gardens.
