Ok, I just have to butt in here. I have also seen a 3 ft bunch of a
plant I have never seen before here near me just prior to Shelly's
original post on this issue, I was wondering what it was. It is a very
pretty plant. There is not much loosestrife of any kind around here that
I know of (So Cal). I will see if I can get a clear photo of this for
anyone of the group interested (or can I just post it to all?) I am
thinking of asking the owner for a few cuttings.

bunch.
Perhaps it really is a sterile modern cultivar.
We don't have the problems with the purple loosestrife here like other
places, which is why I'm not sure of it's identification. (I've seen
pictures on the Web but they're just not quite clear enough). Anyway,
since
I live on a lot in the middle of the city, I think I'll be a pretty safe
bet
for containment.
