Persicaria microcephala 'Red Dragon' - 2013 (Persicaria 'Red Dragon')

Good foliage colour on a plant three to four feet tall. It doesn't run (unlike many persicarias), but may flop, so don't plant anything small and precious nearby

What do you mean by 'run' Andrew?

Run = spreads at the root. You plant it at one end of the garden, and find it coming up at the other end as soon as your back is turned

I understand.
Stinging nettles spring to mind.
