Persicaria amphibia, commonly known as Amphibious Bistort, is a hardy native UK pond plant valued for its attractive pink flower spikes and ability to thrive in both shallow water and damp soil.
Flowering throughout summer, this versatile marginal plant adds colour and interest to pond edges while providing a valuable nectar source for pollinators. Its spreading growth habit also helps soften pond margins and create a more natural appearance.
Perfect for wildlife ponds, natural ponds, and bog gardens, Persicaria amphibia is easy to grow and well suited to a wide range of pond conditions.
