         loosestrife. Plants do not have to be near each other to cross 
         pollinators. Loosestrife planted in gardens may eventually

And my Morden Pinks are doing so well, suppose this is the same thing, or
maybe I have the name wrong.  The tag definitely says non-invasive though and
was sold by a VERY reputable nursery in town.
