Lythrum salicaria ‘Robert’ is a more compact variant of Purple loosestrife growing to a maximum of around 80cm with spikes of clear pink flowers from June-September. Excellent for wildlife and designated as Perfect for Pollinators by the RHS.  It grows well in the sun or semi-shade.

Please note these may be cut back in May to remove the dominant central stem and encourage thicker bushier growth.
