Actually, this plant could prove to be a thug,
if it had room to spread wherever it wanted...
Here's a post on the plant when it's blooming: Gooseneck Loosestrife
I can't say I've ever seen this plant look more beautiful than it's looking this Fall!
It must have something to do with the couple of weeks of COLD, wet weather we experienced earlier!

It is one of the prettiest plants of autumn.
It's really a lovely fall color~gail
I came over to read your garden post, but I've been totally distracted by all of your wonderful skills -- knit, crochet, quilt, paint! WOW! You are so talented!

It is a thug. It runs rampant under our apple tree where nothing else will grow. It is pretty though.
Beautiful fall color!
That's great color. If I weren't so afraid of it, I'd have to have it.
Love gooseneck loosestrife , it could be a thug but darn it is lovely in bloom and in the fall.........
I avoid gooseneck loosestrife, but it is pretty. Nice fall color. Still, I don't even use burning bush in flower/foliage arrangements because I don't want to encourage the use of this other invasive plant.
That is beautiful! I love all the different colors in it. It maybe a bit of problem but the fall color it provides is gorgeous. -Jackie
Well, if a plant is going to be a thug, it might as well be a pretty thug! Move over maples!! :)
It is a pretty color, I didn't realize it changed so much in the fall. I actually killed loosestrife in my yard and not on purpose. I'd read it could be invasive, but not for me.
Hi Bobbie, I'm absolutely loving it. I'm so glad you stopped in!
Gail, How are you? We had another beautiful, sunny day today! :-)
Thank you, Cameron. It could be "Jack of all trades but master of none..." I have many interests and many interesting friends! :-)
Lisa, Can you tell I have it in a spot in which it has difficulty spreading??? A rocky bed with competition. ;-)
Thank you, Darla.
MMD, I believe it could be contained very well (mine is)... perhaps a sunken pot?
Rosemary, I agree! :-)
Commonweeder, I understand. However, there are varieties of burning bush that don't produce seeds... Give the loosestrife boundaries. It helps a LOT. :-)
Hi Jackie! I'm loving this bright contrast, too!
Hi Grace, That's what I say! ;-) And look at the variety of color... ha. :-) Thanks for the chuckle!
Catherine, Mine is in such a spot that it can't spread much. It has taken this plant 6 years to get this "colony." So, I'm not worried. Thanks for your visit. :-)
It is a thug--I pull it out by the handful each spring. I do love the fall color, though... in fact I have a photo of my own for a post I'm working on for Monday. (No, really!)
I had some of that in a bed at our church. It was in a place where it was OK for it to spread, and I loved the blooms, but was too chicken to bring some home to plant. When we added onto the church, the area where the loosestrife was became part of the addition.
Monica, We sometimes operate on the same wave length, I think! I'll look forward to your post! :-) (BTW, I've planted my Bergenia roots and will look forward to Spring!)
Hi Sue, So your Church lost the loosestrife? Well... if you ever decide you want more, just let me know! :-)
