Description
Alexander Loosestrife is a standout perennial for Massachusetts gardens, offering clusters of golden, star-shaped blooms from late spring through early summer. Its upright, spreading habit creates a full, lush appearance, especially when planted in groupings or along borders. The foliage is just as striking, emerging pink in spring and maturing into variegated green with creamy white edges and hints of blush. Alexander Loosestrife is excellent for cut arrangements and brings soft color and texture to container gardens or boggy spots.
Perfect for gardeners who want to attract butterflies while avoiding deer, Alexander Loosestrife thrives in moist soils and full sun to partial shade. It requires minimal maintenance, with spring cleanup keeping it looking fresh year after year. This plant may spread over time, making it ideal for mass planting or naturalizing an area. Alexander Loosestrife is especially well-suited to the New England climate and adds a pop of golden brightness to any Massachusetts landscape.
