Received young plant well packaged, but really tiny, with only one leaf. I hope it will take, but I am a bit skeptical.

Description
Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Fat Domino' is a large perennial with vibrant and deep colours. Its multiple spikes continuously bloom throughout the summer until mid-autumn, flooding the flower beds with a carmine red. Preferring moist to wet soils, it thrives in full sun or partial shade, creating beautiful and wild voluminous flower beds thanks to its deciduous heart-shaped leaves.
Belonging to the family of Polygonaceae, Persicaria amplexicaulis gets part of its name from the shape of its leaves. They are indeed called amplexicaule: which means stem-clasping or sheathing. Their base actually surrounds the stem on which they are attached. Green and deciduous, they are also lanceolate and cordate (heart-shaped) and turn red in autumn. Numerous, wide, and of medium size (around 15 cm (6in)), they expand in flower beds and quickly add volume. The stems that bear them end with slender spikes made up of multiple small bell-shaped flowers tightly packed together. Those of 'Fat Domino' are like jewels. Starting as carmine red buds, they bloom to reveal a beautiful raspberry hue. This hardy perennial loves water and requires no special care. If the soil is rich, its rhizomatous roots will colonize the surrounding areas and it will easily reach 1 metre (3 feet) in all directions in a few years.
The dense and erect clump of 'Fat Domino' enhances the edges of ponds and adds colour to partially shaded areas. Depending on the available space, it can be placed in the background or intermingled with natural summer accents, such as grasses, whose colours harmonize well with it. Its shades of red allow it to find many companions in our 'white, pink, purple' or 'red and black' inspirations.

Planting and care
The 'Fat Domino' Knotweed or Persicaria amplexicaulis is an easy and hardy perennial. You can plant it in spring or autumn in full sun or partial shade. It prefers moist to wet and rich soils. If you are concerned about intense heat and drought, make sure to water it during planting, mulch the base, or deeply work the soil so that it can find the moisture it needs. It will thrive near bodies of water or at the edge of woodlands and is not afraid of cold and wet winters. Under certain climates, its foliage may even be semi-evergreen. Its maintenance is limited to removing faded or dry stems during the growing season or at the end of winter depending on the aesthetic you desire.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
