Purple loosestrife makes a tall wildflower that grows naturally on banks of streams and around ponds. It has strong, upright stems, topped in summer with long, poker-like heads of bright purple-red flowers. Plants look tidier if dead heads are removed occasionally. They do not need staking but, because plants can be rather vigorous, they need dividing every few years to keep within bounds. Team with other moisture-loving plants such as inula in a damp border or pondside.
