The opposing leaves are lanceolate, and pinky-purple flowers spiral up the inflorescence from May through to September. Unlike its cousin \u003cem\u003eLythrum salicaria\u003c\/em\u003e, it sets viable seed but is not invasive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt thrives in moist or wet conditions in full sun and dislikes acidic soil, making it ideal for pondside and bog gardens or any sunny area that stays consistently moist. In the USA it is pollinated by hummingbirds; in the UK it is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Deer show little interest. It also makes a good cut flower, as the stems remain erect in all but the harshest conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight × Spread: 80cm × 60cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 Litre","offer_id":54190321402198,"sku":null,"price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/hardysplants.live\/products\/lythrum-alatum","provider":"Hardy's Cottage Garden Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
