Deadhead faded flower spikes regularly to encourage continued blooming. Furthermore, cut back old stems at the end of the growing season to keep Persicaria ‘Alpenglow’ tidy and healthy.
Mulching
Apply organic mulch around the base in spring to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and improve soil quality. As a result, Persicaria ‘Alpenglow’ will grow more vigorously and flower for longer.
