Note: We cannot ship to IN due to their complete prohibition of the importation of any Lythrum species due to the invasive nature of the dreaded Eurasian Purple Loosestrife - Lythrum salicaria & it's near cousin L. virgatum! (& yes, speaking of the Elephant in the room, this is a loosestrife & it blooms purple but it is Native & not invasive! - Really, it's quite a lovely plant!)
