Synonym(s) Persicaria polymorpha Common name giant fleeceflower; white dragon Family polygonaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers white (May-June) Size 5' Light sun-part shade Cultural notes prefers moist soil Clumping upright perennial with white flower plumes. I received this one in a generous plant trade by mail. It bloomed a bit that same year, but has since come into its own in the garden, growing into a voluminous mound. A typical polygonum, foliagewise, but the only white-flowered one in our garden. Makes a statement from afar.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: bogside border
