Polygonum: Kiss-Me-Over-The-Garden-Gate Seed ( Annual )

Grow Polygonum orientale, or "Kiss Me Over the Garden Gate," for its dramatic height, beautiful pink, bead-like flowers, and easy-to-grow nature, as it is a fast-growing annual that readily self-seeds, bringing traditional cottage garden charm and supporting pollinators. It offers a fast thrill with its tumbling flower clusters and large, heart-shaped leaves, though it can become somewhat invasive in warmer climates.

An old heirloom favorite, hard to find seeds for these anymore, we are very happy to be able to offer them again.
Lures beneficial pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Flowers from midsummer until frost. Direct seed or transplant.
Lush, heart-shaped leaves are very pretty. Makes an excellent cut flower too. Rich soil is best. Reseeds itself once established.
