Polygonum Nuttallii

Polygonum nuttallii, commonly known as Nuttall's knotweed, is a hardy perennial plant native to the western United States. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often found in streambanks and wet meadows. This species is characterized by its distinctive, knotted stems and small, arrow-shaped leaves. Its flowers, which appear in late summer, are clustered in dense spikes and are typically pink or reddish in color. Despite its ornamental appeal, it can sometimes be invasive in certain regions, making it both a valuable and challenging plant to manage.
