Lythrum (Loosestrife)

Lythrum, commonly known as Loosestrife, is a lively perennial that brings tall spikes of bright color to midsummer and early fall. The flowers come in vivid shades of pink, rose, or purple and appear in dense clusters along upright stems. When planted in groups, they create a strong vertical accent that makes the whole border feel fuller and more vibrant. This plant thrives in sunny spots and enjoys soil that stays evenly moist, making it a natural fit for borders, meadows, and areas near ponds or streams. It attracts bees and butterflies, grows easily, and adds long lasting color during the warmest part of the year. For gardeners who want height, impact, and dependable blooms, Lythrum is a beautiful choice.
