Purple-loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)
Commonly called loosestrife, from the Greek for “ending strife,” lysimachia is the flower for one who seeks peace or tranquillity.
Purple-loosestrife can be found in wet habitats, such as reedbeds, fens, marshes and riverbanks. It flowers between June and August, when its nectar becomes a valuable food source for long-tongued insects, such as brimstone butterflies, red-tailed bumblebees and elephant hawk-moths.
