If they are growing wild anyway, then you you're not introducing a problem cos it's already there!! Of course it may be a slightly different type which you have bought?? Can you contain the roots to prevent it spreading??? ( and remember to deadhead!)    Report

You will have to control it as you do mint and tansy. Mel    Report

Loosestrife doesn't have clouds of fluffy seeds. Hoddy    Report

The second bit about it growing wild in France is right, though.    Report
