Re: gooseneck loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides)

Even the gooseneck loosetrife is invasive enough to be a pain, unless it has
a LOT of room.  I just tore out a bunch last night, that had invaded my
purple cone flower, bottle brush buckeye and queen of the prairie.  I also
found it had  run all around one old stump that had been left in this bed.
Next question is just how much of it will come up next spring.  It has very
impressive rhizomes!  I am giving it to a friend, but only with full
disclosure of its character.  Funny thing was that most of the places it had
moved into were out of sight, and I saw very little of its blooms.
