Lysimachia - Loosestrife-Gooseneck

Slender, white flowers curved like a goose's neck are produced in abundance from mid to late summer. Unique to this perennial, most all of the flowers point in the same direction, as if they were a flock of geese following the leader. When planted en masse, the effect is particularly striking. When not in bloom, the foliage will appear coarse in texture, and in the fall it may develop a rich red color.
This species is NOT the same as Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum), which has proven to be an invasive species in wetlands. They do spread fairly quickly, however, when planted in moist soils, so choose their location wisely.
