Creeping Smartweed™ — Low-Growing, Native Groundcover with Pink Blooms & Pollinator Friendly

Bring beauty, resilience, and biodiversity to your yard with Creeping Smartweed™ (Persicaria pensylvanica), a naturally low-growing, spreading plant that thrives where traditional lawns struggle. Reaching only 4–6 inches in height, Creeping Smartweed forms a lush carpet of green foliage accented by delicate rosy-pink flower spikes that bloom from summer into early fall. These blooms provide season-long color and transform any overlooked patch of ground into a vibrant, living display. Unlike standard turf, Creeping Smartweed is a true groundcover that stays low without mowing, saving you time and maintenance costs. Its decumbent stems spread gently in all directions, filling in bare areas and creating a thick, uniform cover that remains attractive throughout the growing season. Adaptable and unfussy, this plant grows well in loam, clay, rocky, or gravelly soils, tolerates both moist and dry conditions, and stands up to heat and light drought. It even withstands occasional mowing, though
