Sedum sarmentosum, Melilotus albus and Lythrum salicaria.

Thanks so much!

You're welcome!

Sandy the Meliotus and Lythrum are are on the invasive plant list here and possibly for you too. I just wanted to mention it in case you were thinking of importing either to your garden.

Are we convinced it’s salicaria and not virgatum?

Thanks for the heads up peren! I always check thoroughly before moving anything. My take after a quick initial search was that 2 of the 3 were going to stay put where I hope they don’t do too much damage. I read that Meliotus, which I think is quite pretty, is browsed by deer so that might help to keep it in check. Floral, sadly, the loosestrife looks like salicaria to me. Even if it wasn’t, I don’t think I’d use it. I already have a bed of gooseneck loosestrife. One variety of loosestrife is enough for me (although the one with yellow blossoms and variegated leaves is very tempting). It’s perfect where it is, but it’s always going to be work to keep it contained.

Floral, what's the difference between virgatum and salicaria? Bonap has virgatum confined to Pennsylvania, checking for NY observations now. Lythrum virgatum is another invasive species, so would still recommend getting rid of it.

Sandy, the one with yellow blossoms, despite the common name Loosestrife, is in a different plant genus, Lysimachia, not Lythrum. They’re not varieties of the same thing.
