Fraser's loosestrife (Lysimachia fraseri) is a rare native wildflower of the southeastern United States, preferring moist, humus-rich soils along stream banks and woodland edges. Plant in partial shade with consistent moisture and organic-rich soil for best results; it does not tolerate drought or prolonged dry spells. This uncommon species is a rewarding addition to native shade gardens and is valuable for conservation plantings in its home range.
