Polygonum cuspidatum 'Crimson Beauty'

I've just cleaned up this plant and have a few rooted shoots to trade. Now, I know the name of this plant strikes fear in the hearts of many, because of the extreme invasiveness of P. cuspidatum. It is my belief, however, that this is 'Crimson Beauty' which is touted to be not nearly as invasive. All I can do is tell you my experience with it. This clump has been in the same place for 30 years and has not moved. The number of canes or stalks has increased, but they're all in a very tight bunch. It is not invasive at all for me in zone 7a. Several nurseries sell this particular cultivar because it is lovely and not invasive (so they say and I have experienced). Do some research, google Polygonum cuspidatum 'Crimson Beauty' (both the web and images), etc. If you decide you'd like to give it a try, I'd love to trade for perennials. I can dig up a few additional shoots if need be. Attached is a picture of mine in full bloom in September/October of last year.
Thanks!

Here's a link to a post I made on the ID forum about it. There's more information there, if you'd like to see it. http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/588631/

I am interested too, but I'll have to chat about it later today as I am headed out the door to go to work. I have a huge arbor that needs a fast growing vine. Thank you. Eden

Thanks!

Dmail me for my list - I'd like to try a plant. Thanks!

Dmailed you, Kay. :o)

Rain,
What type of perennials are you looking for?

berry, I'm pretty open to anything. I need some to go beneath a maple tree, and then around the rest of the house it's at least part sun, so I can use lots of things there. I'm completely re-landscaping around the house, so I'm willing to consider anything from bulbs to shrubs. LOL
