POLYGONUM - Dwarf Lace Plant 
Reynoutria Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
This handsome ground cover was introduced a few years ago by 
Amos Perry, one of England’s oldest and best known plantsmen. It 
is of easy culture, very hardy and establishes itself quite rapidly 
from underground runners. It does best in full sun and its pale 
green foliage turns brilliant red in the autumn. Height is between 
4 and 6 inches. In the fall it produces numerous airy pink sprays of 
flowers not unlike those of the “Silver Lace Vine.’’ The buds are deep 
coral and salmon, adding much to its charm. One of the best ground 
covers for sunny places where Vinca and Pachysandra would not be 
satisfactory.

and the Primrose (Primula vulgaris). It has the large flowers of the 
Primrose and the flower umbel of the Cowslip.

soil.
