Field Notes

Description:

Gooseneck Loosestrife has slender arching spikes of white flowers with a graceful crook that makes them seem friendly and informal. Bloom is abundant from July into September; the plants in our propagation blocks produce a sea of white spikes every summer. Plants grow to 3ft and are vigorous to the point of invasiveness, which we prefer over plants that limp their way through the season. A superb ground cover in any soil, in full sun or partial shade;

Habitat:

Dawes Arboretum
