Planting & Care

Sow Winged Loosestrife seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors in late fall for natural stratification. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or into the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and moist, rich soil. Water regularly to maintain even moisture, especially during dry spells. Winged Loosestrife is generally pest-free and deer-resistant. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage additional blooms, or allow seed heads to mature for self-sowing. In late fall, cut back stems to ground level to tidy the plant and promote healthy spring growth.
