Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Plants will spread quickly and form a large patch when grown in full sun or partial shade. Clumps can be easily divided in the spring and are a choice for a waterside or moist garden.

Additional Notes about Gooseneck Loosestrife:

Not yet officially listed as invasive, this plant is not native to North America, and is definitely aggressive.

For similar effects, consider Veronicastrum virginicum or some of the white-flowewring cultivars of Clethra alnifolia.
