Lythrum (Loosestrifes)
2 products
Lythrum, commonly known as loosestrife, is a genus of flowering plants that thrive in damp habitats. These plants produce tall spikes of pink or purple flowers, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Their nectar-rich blooms provide a valuable food source during summer months.
Some Lythrum species, like Lythrum salicaria, support UK wildlife by hosting caterpillars of the emperor moth. Their dense growth also offers shelter for small insects and amphibians. Native varieties contribute to wetland ecosystems. Plant them in sunny, moist areas to encourage biodiversity.
