Hi jaime,
I looked up loostrife to see what you were talking about since I do
not stay as informed about such things.
If anyone is interested and uninformed as myself here is a URL to
further your education.
I find I sometimes promote a plant I see growing because it "looks
pretty" It helps to be informed.
