Lythrum virgatum - European wand loosestrife

continental : These plants prefer a sunny location, where they can enjoy direct solar rays even throughout the whole day,
These plants are grown in the garden year round because they are rustic.

alpine : Let's grow the The Lythrum virgatum in a sunny place, with direct solar light.
These plants are rustic, they can stand the heat and cold, therefore they can be planted outside.

mediterranean : Plant which needs a few hours a day of solar light.
These plants can stand the cold weather, they can be grown as garden plants during the whole year.

continental : Water regularly, every 0-1 weeks, wetting the soil deep down, but waiting for the substratum to dry completely between a watering and the other; avoid leaving stagnant water. Usually 1-2 buckets of water are used.

alpine : We suggest regular watering with 0-1 buckets of water about every 1-2 weeks, waiting for the soil to dry between one time and the other.

mediterranean : Every 0-0 weeks we should intervene with water, irrigating the soil only if it is dry; we suggest avoiding water stagnations by using 2-3 buckets of water.

Feed Lythrum virgatum : Let’s enrich the soil of the freshly planted plants with granular slow release fertilizer; aquatic plants which have been cultivated for long don’t’ need fertilizing during the summer period.

Adversity Lythrum virgatum : Summer treatments should be applied only in cases of displayed infesting; a dry climate favours the development of ticks and rust. During this period of the year, since there are many useful insects in the garden, it is advisable to avoid using wide-range products, favouring the use of specific products against each type of parasite. Let’s apply the treatments during early morning or evening hours.
