Giant hyssop, perhaps. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

It's much smaller than the general run of Lythrum salicaria, but I did suspect it of being a depauperate plant of some species. I'm used to picking purple loosestrife out as "tall purple-flowered perennial, not rosebay or great willowherb, growing next to water", which doesn't work for a small perennial growing in a pavement crack. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Purple loosestrife, at least round here, starts flowering later than Greater Willowherb or rosebay. |
