L. clethroidesis better known as Gooseneck Loosestrife because its slender arching spikes of white flowers have a graceful crook that looks somewhat like the shape of a goose neck.
Bloom is abundant from July into September; plant multiple plants to naturalize a sea of white spikes every summer. Plants grow to 3′ and are vigorous to the point of invasiveness, which we admire. A superb ground cover in any soil, in full sun or partial shade; it also deserves a role in the border with plants that can help restrain its enthusiasm. Edging or pots can help control its naturalization in more formal gardens, otherwise, let it create new waves of white blooms every year!
