Description
Gooseneck Loosestrife is an enthusiastic perennial with attractive, smooth, pointed leaves are mid-green above, pale green beneath. At the top of each plant, small white blossoms are produced in dense, graceful spikes, 4 to 8 inches long, that curve gracefully over and down, from July to September. Fall will turn leaves to a beautiful golden yellow.
