• can be aggressive in perfect locations
• spreads through rhizomes and stolon
• attractive white gooseneck shaped flowers

I have this plant close to my pond for aesthetics but it is actually quite a dry spot and because of that, it has not spread much and its flowers tend to be smaller. I love it both, for its late blooming abilities and the attractive flower. It starts to bloom mid August but will continue until late September. There are many Lysimachias including the Yellow Loosestrife, which I have covered before. I find them all great mainstays of a perennial border. This plant combines well with Astrantias, Hostas and Siberian Irises, giving a series of blooms in a semi- shaded area.
