Lysimachia ephemerum


Milky Loosestrife

USDA Zone: 5-9

Plant number: 1.340.030


Also known as Willow-leaved Loosestrife, this should not be confused with the noxious weed Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria). This is a completely non-invasive species, seldom seen in gardens. Plants form a bushy, upright clump of grey-green leaves, with tapering spikes of silvery-white flowers appearing in late summer. An excellent back of the border perennial, also useful at the waterside. An excellent cut flower, this is even grown commercially for florists. Clumps may be easily divided in early spring. Attractive to butterflies.
