European wand loosestrife

Lythrum virgatum is a member of the Lythraceae family and is found in wet habitats across its native range in the Eurasian steppes. It has been introduced to various parts of Europe and North America, including countries such as France, Germany, and the United States. The plant is offered by commercial suppliers in both its natural form and as cultivated varieties. However, in some regions, it is regarded as an invasive species due to its potential to outcompete native flora.
