Red Dragon? It may just be my favouritebecause of the colour and the beautiful leaf marking. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

It turns out that Polygonum cuspidatum is a synonym of Fallopia japonica. Red flowers suggests that it's a hybrid, rather than pure Japanese Knotweed. (And the seed parent may also be a hybrid - between Japanese and Giant Knotweeds.)

The British populations are reputedly nearly 100% female, so there's not much opportunity for setting seeds, but it is known to produce hybrids with Russian Vine and Giant Knotweed.

I hope not. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

I hope not. In the nursery description they do say "When grown in full sun, the leaves take on a reddish cast. In September, the clumps are topped with terminal and axillary flower stalks of short red spikes...very attractive, and no seedlings or running in 10+ years" |
