Each stem carries a dense cluster of small white blooms that open from the bottom upward in mid to late summer, creating a graceful, nodding display above bright green foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis vigorous perennial works well in cottage gardens, meadow plantings, mixed borders, and along water features or woodland edges. Its upright habit and arching white flower spikes add movement and contrast, and the blooms are attractive to pollinators. Gooseneck Loosestrife spreads readily by rhizomes, so it is best placed where its colonizing habit can be managed or used to its advantage as a ground-covering filler.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArching white flower spikes that curve at the tip like a goose's neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms open progressively from the base of the spike upward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBright green, lance-shaped foliage on upright stems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVigorous spreader that naturalizes readily in suitable sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttractive to pollinators and useful in cut flower arrangements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lysimachia clethroides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; prefers consistently moist soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright clumps spreading by rhizomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid to late summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow room for natural spread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant bare roots as soon as possible after arrival. Rehydrate the roots briefly, then set them in a prepared hole with the crown just below the soil surface and roots spread outward. Backfill, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Choose a site with moist, well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade; consistent moisture helps establishment, especially during the first season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the planting area evenly moist while roots establish, then water during dry spells. Because Gooseneck Loosestrife spreads by rhizomes, monitor its growth and divide or remove unwanted shoots to keep it within bounds. Cut back spent flower stems after bloom if desired, and tidy old foliage in late winter or early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e12 bare root Gooseneck Loosestrife perennial plants (Lysimachia clethroides).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824721625398,"sku":"FOLIA2-1086","price":128.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6633304979_jtcd.jpg?v=1793004309","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/12-gooseneck-loosestrife-bare-root-plants-lysimachia-clethroides-perennial","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
