Plants are dispatched in growing condition and may not be in full flower. If too tall to pack safely, we may cut them back — this helps them establish more quickly. Read our Mail Order FAQs.
Fiery red flower spikes rise in midsummer just above the bright green foliage, appearing in remarkable numbers and creating a vivid, concentrated mass of colour that lasts well into autumn. The large, pointed leaves develop dramatic burgundy-purple mottling and red margins as the season progresses — a second season of interest that sets ‘JS Caliente’ apart from most other Bistortas.
Bred by Jan Spruyt in Belgium, this cultivar has a naturally uniform, compact habit that makes it particularly well suited to group planting. It thrives in sun or partial shade with moisture-retentive soil — ideal alongside streams, ponds and in boggy situations. A perfect choice for hot-coloured borders, or for lifting a shaded area with a burst of vivid colour.
