Description
Persicaria virginiana or Painter's Palette Knotweed is aptly named for its original and variegated foliage, forming a thick carpet where green, white, pale yellow splashed with pink, and chocolate colours blend together, in the form of a V-shaped mark that adorns the centre of each leaf. It sometimes displays sparse spikes adorned with a few small bright pink flowers. This deciduous and very hardy perennial makes an impact, whether planted en masse, in isolation, or even in a pot. It thrives in moist but well-drained soil, in partial shade or non-scorching sun.
Persicaria virginiana is a plant native to Japan, the Himalayas, and northeastern United States. In nature, it grows in partial shade on riverbanks, on forest edges, and even on cliffs and in moist rocks, naturally displaying a great diversity in the appearance of its foliage. The 'Painter's Palette' cultivar is a variegated form of this robust herbaceous perennial. It forms a deciduous clump, 60cm (24in) tall and 40cm (16in) wide, starting from spring. This plant does not sucker. It bears large velvety leaves, 8cm (3in) long, ovate and elongated, splashed with colours like ivory, green, cream yellow, and pink. The centre of each leaf is marked with a purple-chocolate V. The flowering is sporadic, occurring in late summer and autumn, in the form of rare spikes bearing a few small pink flowers. When it does flower, it is followed by the formation of pods containing mature seeds that 'jump' beyond the mother plant when disturbed.
In ornamental gardens, the 'Painter's Palette' polygonum can be used as a relatively tall ground cover, planted in groups or in shaded borders. It pairs well with ferns and hostas, rodgersias, heucheras, etc. It can also be grown in pots to admire its unique foliage up close.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
