There was just a discussion of this on rec.gardens. Someone who sounded
like they knew what they were talking about said that there are two kinds of
plants referred to as loosestrife, Lysimachias and the other, I think is
Lythrum. The Lythrums, which include purple loosestrife, are invasive.
There are sterile hybrids of these for sale. The Lysimachias are not
invasive. (according to my unknown source!) I think gooseneck loosestrife
is a lysimachia.
I have three different kinds of Lysimachias in my garden, and so far they
haven't gone anywhere.
Does anyone know more about this? I hope I'm passing on factual
information. Linda, Idaho, Zone 5
