It must be the makeup.

Somethings come up and I’ll be gone a week or so. I’ll leave you with this sweetheart to keep you company until I return.

There’s only one thing that bugs me about this plant.

It’s too aggressive to put in a garden. It prefers moist almost wet soil but that won’t stop it from spreading in dry soils. It might be slowed down a bit but expect it to pratice monoculture if it gets established. Gooseneck Loosestrife will out compete even the toughest weeds.

A couple of transplants moved to the wild edge of the yard have formed a major invasion force in only a few years. The area is wet in spring but by midsummer the soil is very dry. These plants are a bit small because of the dryness but that didn’t stop them from claiming the area for it’s own. One of the few plants I’ve actually seen take on quack-grass and win.
