How to care for Bistorta amplexicaulis OrangeField ('Orangofield') (PBR):
Incorporate a generous amount of composted organic matter or well-rotted manure into the backfill during planting. Once established, lift and divide congested clumps in spring or autumn. Cut back after it has finished flowering, or wait until late winter or early spring. Apply a mulch of composted organic matter every year.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
