Thread OP

Hello
I for the life of me, cannot find information in your database on this plant. What is it? Is it native to Illinois or considered invasive?
Thank you

Goose neck Lysimachia clethroides, I really enjoy it, pretty aggressive

I'm in PA z6 and it's very invasive for me...I like it but it needs to be where it can spread on it's own, in my opinion...not in a bed with other plants.

You're so right, Ronnie. For 20 years I had it contained to one spot but it escaped last year. Getting ALL the roots out is a good fall job, not for the heat of summer.
