Knotweed is a shrubby clump-forming perennial with lace-shaped dark green foliage. Tall panicles of creamy-white flower plums resembling goats-beard bloom through summer and fade to tan in early fall. Best flowering in full sun and moist, well-drained soils. Drought and humidity tolerant once established.
