Gooseneck Loosestrife(Lysimachia clethroides) gets its name from the way the flower heads arch, resembling goose necks. A large patch of them resembles a flock of geese. As you can see, the flowers are attractive to butterflies. This is a very aggressive grower so it should be planted where you don't mind it trying to take over the world. What will be shipped will be stolons, underground vegetative propagation parts. Zones: 4-9. Full to part sun, prefers to be on the moist side. Grows 1-3'.
