Description: A waterside plant, purple loosestrife produces a distinctive spike of striking purple flowers from June through September. It is common throughout much of the UK, though it is scarcer in northern and eastern Scotland. Purple loosestrife is found on riverbanks, marshes and on damp waste ground.

Flower Colour: Purple/Magenta

Flowering Times: June to September.

Management: The Purple Loosestrife plant likes wetland areas, and does not do well in soil that is frequently dry. It does well in open sun areas. Dead stems need to be cut back each year.

Kindly be aware that as autumn approaches, our wildflower plants might be delivered in a state where they appear to have passed their peak. We strive to inform you about this at the time of your order. It is common for native plants to exhibit leaf blotches or have dead/brown leaves during specific times of the year; this is entirely natural. We assure you that we meticulously inspect the root condition, ensuring their robust health. Once planted, the plug plant will respond accordingly.

Please understand that owing to the perishable nature of our plug plants, the usual right to cancel does not apply.
