Plant Name for Large Photos (Lots of folks
still have dial up so this page only has small photos!)
Whether
you call it Fallopia, because you're hip on up on the new names or
Polygonum or Persicaria, some of the older names, it doesn't matter
because it's a winner! In a Genus with some real Garden Thugs,
this is a well-behaved plant. It does spread a little but has
no interest in world domination, like some of it's close cousins -
even the green-leaved species from which it evolves. New
shoots emerge salmon pink in the spring. As the plant grows,
the rounded leaves become green with wide irregular white
variegation, but still tinted with pink. In late summer, small
creamy white flower spikes appear. This brightly colored plant can
definitely brighten up a moderately shaded area.
Branches are beautiful in flower arrangements. 
This
plant has had more names than one can count - Polygonum, Reynoutria
to name two. The species is a noxious weed. The form 'Compacta',
according to the Missouri Botanical Garden Kemper Center website,
which says "Generally best as a ground cover in areas where its
somewhat invasive spread will not be a problem. Good for
massing on banks and slopes." Also, great in pots where it
can't spread at all! It's cold hardy enough to live year round
in pots in most parts of the country. Loose clusters of pale
pink flowers in summer mature to red and are followed by red seeds.
Heart-shaped (to 2" long), red-veined, green leaves turn red in
fall. Good Fall color.
The foliage of this tropical looking
plant from China and Japan is astounding with gold spots on green
shiny leaves but I think the most interesting part are the gold
daisy/Ligularia like blooms. Well not so odd since it's old
Botanical name was Ligularia
tussilaginea.
A
very short form of one of our favorite, underused perennials. A
froth of rose colored blooms over a dwarf form of Meadowsweet from
mid to late summer -- later than most. Beautiful, textured,
cut-leaf, palmate foliage fits well into the perennial border when
the other forms are too tall. Needs at least average moisture in
sun. New to the trade. From China, Russia & Japan.
A
wonderful volunteer or mutation that occurred in the midst of our 'Kakome's
that has very, very gold leaves. perfect if you need a
brighter foliage color
Leaves
3-8" across. Showy, large white flower heads with red antlers.
Attractive, large 6-pointed, maple-like leaves with similar, smaller
leaves on the flower stems. Exceptionally beautiful. Tolerates
average soil but with shortened bloom time. This Filipendula is fairly compact compared to
the species. 
Spreading
perennial forming large clumps in moist soil. Deeply cut,
compound-pinnate, bright green leaves have 7-9 lance-shaped leaflets
each, with an unusually large, 7-9 lobed, terminal leaflet
(4-8" long). Leaves are fragrant. A good foliage plant
that is valued for both its leaves and its flowers. In early & midsummer, branching red stems bear crowded
corymbs, to 6" across, of fragrant, deep peach-pink flowers. Moist
well-drained or boggy soil. Often mixed in the trade
because folks assume 'rubra' means red! Here is the true plant

corymbs, to 6" across, of fragrant, deep rose-pink flowers that fade
to light pink w/ age. 'Venusta' has deeper pink flowers.
A
stately, gorgeous plant with serrated edged leaves and double white
flowers. The species, originally from Europe, is now naturalized in
N. America -- this, however, is the double flowering cultivar and
it's very heavily scented. 
Feathery,
metallic reddish bronze leaves. Striking accent plant. Good in
salads. Biennial but self-seeds to maintain it's presence in your
garden. Beautiful airy, ferny foliage is bronze colored. Used to
flavor food. From Europe.
