Purple Loosestrife

very pretty.

Yes - I'm a bit surprised that more haven't appeared, as seedlings. Maybe I weeded them out without realising, though. :(((

I love this, have it growing near the pond

The native one or one of the cultivated ones?

must be one of the cultivated ones, I've lost the label and can't remember which one it is LOL

I have 'Robert', 'Blush' and Lady Sackville'. Robert is the brightest pink and tall, Blush is pale pink, and Lady S. is small but similar in colour to the native one. Does that help?

must be Robert then :-)

He's the best one I think. :-)))

me too :-)

The others are just not tall enough. I should have got another 'Robert' instead.

just have to go back to that nursery again then LOL

Hmmmm.....maybe.....it seems a shame to dig out the other one. I'll put up with it this year and think again next time.

it does really, and I still like this one too

The new ones (last year and this) aren't nearly as vigorous as the native ones, or 'Robert'. Such a shame. 'Blush' is a really pretty pale pink - but it's only just over a foot high and not many stems, either. :-((
