Re: Loosestrife, yikes.


Sharon:

I think the only Lythrum we're talking about is Lythrum salicaria.  There's an excellent site at http://plants.usda.gov/cgi_bin/plant_profile.cgi?symbol=LYSA2 where you can get much more information on the plant, it's synonyms, distribution and where it's been banned from production and sale in the U.S.
     I'm most interested in the varieties you mentioned in your posting though.  If you get the time could you note some of the species or varietal names?
