Description
Lysimachia clethroides is a perennial plant that grows to a height of 60–120 cm. The leaves are lanceolate, up to 10 cm long and 2 cm broad, with a smooth edge and a pointed tip. The flowers are white, produced on a terminal spike 10–20 cm long with a distinctive gooseneck shape.
Cultivation
Lysimachia clethroides is grown as an ornamental plant for its attractive spikes of white flowers. It is hardy to USDA zones 4–8. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. It can be propagated by seed, division, or cuttings.
Uses
In traditional Chinese medicine, Lysimachia clethroides is used to treat urinary tract infections and other ailments. It is also used in the floral industry for its distinctive flower spikes.
Invasive species
In some areas, such as the northeastern United States, Lysimachia clethroides has escaped cultivation and become an invasive species. It can form dense stands that displace native vegetation and alter habitats.
