Loosestrife

Gooseneck loosestrife is an absolutely unmissable perennial originating from East Asia, where it grows in wet mountain meadows. From summer to early autumn, it produces elegantly arching flower spikes composed of thousands of tiny, pure white stars. This unconventional flower shape will add unusual dynamics to the flower bed. It is an exceptionally hardy and long-lived plant, which you will receive from us as a mature seedling in a pot. Just plant it in loamy or clay soil in full sun or partial shade. Loosestrife loves moisture; it thrives wonderfully near ponds and in the damper parts of the garden. Moreover, its sweetly scented flowers will reliably attract bees and other pollinators. It has something to offer in autumn as well; its matte green leaves beautifully turn into bright yellow-orange shades. It stands out perfectly in groups, holds its shape, needs no support, and does not suffer from pests. If you like creating fresh bouquets, the bent flower spikes will bring you joy. They stay beautiful in a vase for a full ten days, and an interesting fact is that both its flowers and leaves are fully edible.
