The large, 8-inch long, artistically marked leaves of this mounding herbaceous perennial are its major attraction. Lime green with fine hairs that give them a velvety appearance, the leaves bear a series of magenta strokes along their leaf veins in the outline of a chevron. Later in the season, the tips of the leaves turn ruddy. In the Joy Creek gardens the deer have not found Persicaria v. `Brush Strokes' to be as attractive as we do.
Late summer. 25-30 in. x 38-40 in.
