There's no reason at all why this is a bad idea....a bit late in
the game but not a bad idea at all. I've been writing about the Lythrum
problem for years and it always sparks a small debate. The last time I
suggested that garden centers stop selling the plant and garden designers stop
using Lythrum in their designs we took some flak. One garden center owner
wrote a scathing letter to the editor about how this plant was not an
environmental threat and withdrew their advertising $$ from the paper.
Pretty hard to believe with all the documentation that's available. Even more
startling though was a municipal planting where there was copious use of
Lythrum...and within seed shot of wetlands.
