Lythrum alatum. While related to the invasive and aggressive Purple Loosestrife, it would be difficult to confuse the two. It is much better behaved with smaller and sparser flowering spikes. Found along shores, wet meadows, wet prairies and ditches. Useful for wildflower gardens, raingardens and pollinator patches. It attracts hummingbirds, bees and butterflies. Grows in moist to wet soil conditions in full to partial sunlight. Ranges from 1-4′ in height. Purplish pink flowers bloom in early to late Summer.

MNL’s Statement on Neonicotinoids
We are committed to providing the highest quality restoration materials possible. We value the role our plants and seed have in the environment. To that end, we choose not to use Neonics and only use other chemicals only when necessary and/or as indicated by an integrated pest management program. This may result in plant leaves with minor feeding damage and/or the occasional monarch caterpillar found still chomping on your milkweed. Rest assured that these plants will be fine; the birds and butterflies will benefit.
