Re: Gooseneck loosestrife (was : Re: dry shade)
Hi, Gerry....on gooseneck loosestrife, mine was all in quite shady locations, and
flowered very well. I also found that, although it did spread, it was not that
hard to keep in check, but perhaps that is because there were other strong plants
around it, too. I do not know what to think about why it would not be
flowering. Sorry I cannot be of more help on this. Maybe someone else would
know?
