It is a bog and moist-border plant, not a water plant. Plant it in moist soil beside a pond or stream, with the crown above the water. Does it spread? Yes. The RHS says it can spread vigorously in moist soil and become a nuisance. The species has escaped into the wild in the UK from dumped garden waste. It is not legally restricted, but divide clumps to keep it in check and never dump unwanted pieces in the countryside. How to plant and care for it Plant from spring to late summer in soil that stays moist. Watch for slugs and snails. Which size should I buy? Bare-root plants (7 cm, 9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre) arrive without a pot or compost and are the most economical way to plant a group.

Packs of 3 come in 7 cm, 9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre bare-root sizes and cost less per plant. The 2x Pot & Compost option is two plants supplied with pots and compost.

Lincspplants Lysimachia punctata - Dotted Loosestrife, Bog Plant
Lysimachia punctata, known as dotted or yellow loosestrife, is an upright perennial with whorls of light green, lance-shaped leaves. From June to August it carries bright yellow, star-shaped flowers about 2.5 cm across in whorls up the stems.

It can be. The RHS calls it a determined spreader in moist soil that can become a nuisance, and the BSBI records it spreading aggressively in the wild in the UK, mainly from dumped garden waste. It is legal to buy and grow in a garden (in Scotland it is an offence to plant it in the wild), but grow it in a large container or basket, keep it away from natural ponds and streams, and never dump unwanted plants or roots in the countryside. Can it grow in a pond? Not in the water. The RHS lists moist soil that does not dry out in summer, so plant it beside a pond rather than in it. Is it a UK native plant? No, although it is sometimes sold as one. The BSBI classes it as a non-native plant from Europe and west Asia, first recorded growing wild in Britain in 1853. How to plant and care for it Plant in moist clay or loam in sun or part shade. Watch for slugs and snails. Which size should I buy?

Our plant is the white-flowered L. camtschatcensis: true plants have pure white spathes, and yellow or cream spathes point to L. americanus or the hybrid. Do not plant it in the wild: it has naturalised in places, and in Scotland it is an offence to plant any non-native plant in the wild. Where to plant white skunk cabbage Wet pond margins, at or just below the water line Bog gardens and stream banks with rich soil A sheltered, partly shaded spot How to plant and care for it Plant in spring or summer in permanently wet, humus-rich soil.
