Gooseneck loosestrife, Lysimachia clethroides, is a fast-growing clump-forming perennial, bearing fresh green, pointed leaves, which turn orange-red briefly before falling in autumn. Its saucer-shaped flowers grow on long, slender arching spikes, reminiscent of a goose neck. It\u2019s perfect for growing in a mixed herbaceous border, where its flowers will attract a wealth of insects.<\/p>\n
