Re: Confirm my polygonum
it's one of the works in progress  It's relatively new and rare, so getting the growing conditions takes time to form a concensus, etc. |

Re: Confirm my polygonum

I think that's what it is, yeah. That's kind of a tough angle though. Is it viny or kind of straight? There are others that can look similar. |

Re: Confirm my polygonum
the leaves are flat, not wavy. The stems are fairly straight unless there's more than one stem per plant. Then they spread a little. Mature leaves are arrow shaped and 3-4" long.

Re: Confirm my polygonum
I agree that it's 'Porto Velho' too. I'm pretty certain Donald got it from me a while back.
