I wondered if it is very common?
I have always grown it in the garden, I even dig some up to take with me when I move house  . I knew it was a loosestrife but didn't know it was "spotted loosestrife" thanks Black |

I see it fairly frequently in countryside close to habitation - particularly on roadside and motorway verges. |

I've got this in my garden as well and I've always thought it was Yellow Loosestrife. What is the difference between them?

We have it in our garden as well and we have always taken a bit when we have moved! We have always known it as Yellow Loosestrife.

Certainly have seen Dotted Loosestrife naturalised in many places around London area. |
