Hi Everyone - I'm trying to find a purple lythrum that's a clumper. Years ago I grew this but since can't find it. I suspect the nurseries don't carry it because lythrum gets a bad rap for being invasive. But this one was well behaved and very beautiful. Appreciate any help in locating it...C in Howard County

Problem with the "clump" Lythrum as I heard it from an inspector from the Dept. of Ag. is that it will cross with invasive types, creating interspecific hybrids capable of becoming invasive. Any grower I knew who grew any Lythrum now don't go near it.

Native Liatris has the same look, but obviously isn't invasive. Maybe you could try that.
