Lysimachia ciliata, Fringed Loosestrife
Pictures to come!
Fringed Loosestrife can be found where woods meets a wetland -it likes dappled shade or part sun and moist soil. Those familiar with the the maroon-leaved sport will know Loosestrife as a rhizomatically spreading plant, some say aggressively so (no more than any perennial mint), in a conventional garden setting. Place this species with other wetland edge plants near a wetland, as opposed to a moist spot in the home garden, and the competition will play its role in keeping plants in balace.
Blooms: yellow, July into August
Height: 2 to 3 feet
Conditions: part shade to dappled shade, moist to -moist-medium
