Plant details
A long-flowering plant with a strong presence, useful for late summer and early autumn, 'Feuerkerze' is ideal for growing in boggy soil by a pond or stream. It sends up slender stems laden with vibrant, rose-red flowers. Divide every few years to keep it under control. It is the only loosestrife to have been given the Award of Garden Merit by the RHS and should not be confused with lysimachia, which has the same common name.
