| Purple loosestrife can grow to 3-9 feet tall with several, square stalks per plant. |
| Wildflowers here include water parsnip, fringed loosestrife, and hedge nettle. |
| We stayed away from pretty but non-native invasive plants like purple loosestrife and Japanese honeysuckle. |
| Place the freshly cut stems in a bottle of water and place in contact with the defoliated loosestrife plants. |
| Purple loosestrife will grow vigorously and clog irrigation canals, ditches, stream banks and reservoirs, resulting in less water available for crop production and recreation. |
| Examples include zebra mussel, the sea lamprey, lawn grubs, green crab and purple loosestrife. |
