So true on the cliamte for which they grow in.  I have Lythrum "Mordem
Glenn?" which has a nice purple flower. This is place in a dry area in
my garden and it seem fine. Now if I placed this in my bog
garden.....thats it...no more bog garden, only lythrum. This one type of
Lythrum is outlawed in this State.
