I believe Claire is right. Last summer I was on a tour of a large public
garden in Canada. The lake was surrounded by loosestrife. I asked one of
the horticulturalists why they let it grow and his answer was basically that
they did not have enough staff to eradicate it.
I have read too that even the modern cultivars of loosestrife that are
supposed to be sterile are sometimes quite fertile and can in fact pollinate
the species.
