  • Question

    Another presumed Persicaria, growing as a weed out of a flower pot in Massachusetts. It's about 1 meter tall and has more branching of stems than I consider normal.

    Answer

    Dear jfc, again, this may be Persicaria extremiorientalis. I could not tell for certain without a pressed specimen. Let me know if you are interested in collecting one, I can always provide directions if you are unsure. Best wishes.
