Gooseneck Loosestrife
Q: We found this plant in our yard and don’t know what it is. Can you help identify it?
A: You have gooseneck loosestrife, Lysimachia clethroides. This is another in the list of plants I’ve put in my garden that grew WAY too friendly after a couple of years.
Despite the attractive flowers, I spray it with herbicide whenever I see it. If you have a confined space it could be OK.
