Lythrum virgatum
Loosestrife "Rose Jam" (Rocket Lythrum) - Lythrum virgatum.
An excellent perennial winter-hardy plant for shady and damp places. As it grows, it forms large “islands” of slender stems up to 120 cm high.
Pinkish-purple flowers are collected in dense candle-shaped elegant inflorescences up to 50 cm long.
Looks great in the background of a flower garden, in shady mixed borders and near a pond. Bees and butterflies love to visit it. Goes well with loosestrife, irises, daylilies, and cereals.
