This attractive plant is a cultivar of the native Purple Loosestrife which has been selected for different colouring. It has the same narrow leaves on tall stems, and the same impressive flowers which are attractive to insects, but the leaves are a lighter green and the blooms are a lovely soft two-tone pink. So good it has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit (AGM). 

Although it is naturally quite a tall plant, cutting the new shoots back once or twice in spring can bring it down to a much shorter height if desired, and also make it a more bushy shape, without affecting the formation of the flowers. Please note the lower leaves of this plant develop brown/black speckles in the summer; this is normal and nothing to worry about.

It makes a pleasing contrast to the of this plant if grown together; they are identical apart from the colouring.

If designing a planting scheme, we recommend approximately 2 Lythrum salicaria 'Blush' plants per square foot of ground, or 1 plant per linear foot of pond edge. Read more here on how to .
