LYTHRUM, The Beacon (Bottom, Right)

long-lasting, clear deep carmine-red flowers on large spikes

orous plants do well with practically no care; the foliage is 
willow-like and interesting. Turns brilliant red in fall. 
Thrives equally in wet semi-shade and open, dry sun.

in early spring and again in fall. The large, superb flowers 
open wide, like a pansy or viola, often exceeding 1 in. 
across. Their stiff, erect stems grow up to 8 in. or more. 
Far superior to old-fashioned Violets because of immense 
size, delightful fragrance, and profusion of flowers on extra 
long stems.
