There is some doubt as to which species each variety belongs to - we are using the current RHS plant finder names.

Lythrum:
Common name:
Purple Loosestrife. Lovely flowering plants common at the waterside in the
UK with tall spires of pink, rose or purple-pink flowers. The are
best in sun and in any soil that does not dry out in summer. The are
brilliant in boggy ground or in the margins of a pond. Having said that,
they do pretty well in our dry sandy soil. Propagate by division - it can
be hard to divide - you need a sharp serrated knife or saw!
