Young plant Synonym(s) Polygonum persicaria Common name smartweed; lady's thumb Family polygonaceae Life cycle annual Flowers white-light pink Light sun-part shade One of the most prolific weeds in my garden. Luckily, it's easy to pull, and the prominent markings on the glossy leaves of young plants make it interesting to look at - it usually blends right in.

This is a weed in our garden
