Lythrum salicaria (Purple loosestrife) is one of the best known native plants and is an excellent plant for a number of reasons. It has plentiful long lasting light purple flowers quite late in the season, much visited by bees and butterflies, and provides perching points for dragonflies. It will grow almost anywhere from shallow water to dry ground and will naturalise well. To get the best from it, cut off flower spikes before they go to seed and it will obligingly send up more. It’s a fairly tall and bushy plant and will need a substantial basket.
