Nicotina is invasive here, thousands of tiny seeds. It is an annual but no replanting here just get out the way. lol. They are very fragrant and in the south attract aphids and gnats and get fungus. :( darn!

Mike, is that 'Red Dragon',Fleece Flower ?
I read comments from north and south and almost everyone loves 'Red Dragon', well except zone 5 and up they said it does not make it through the winter. Also in the south it gets wider than it is tall, most people say 2-3 feet tall.

Plant Delights Nursery has a White Dragon and they said they had no problem with seedlings in the ten years that they had it. Could be because this cultivar is sterile. Roots easily from cuttings though be care about PP, PDN said theirs got 5 feet tall, but the 'White Dragon', is not actually listed under Knotweed it is just called a 'Giant Fleece Flower' (Persicaria polymorpha ) . I would love to try this but they do not carry it anymore for some reason. I also found a pink Knotweed and a virginia knotweed that I might try.

Every year I say I am going to plant some Zinnias and I never do! Yours are beautiful cytf.

My large Knockout Roses are blooming again but no pic because it has been raining all week.

My aster 'September Ruby' is a newer cultivar and I can recommend them for people in the south because it really didn't have any fungus problems plus the color was awesome!
