Epilobium angustifolium 'Album'

Rosebay willhowherb is a 'pioneer species' known for colonizing new ground as it spreads easily by seed and by underground runners. It is often regarded as a weed, but it is a truly wonderful plant, especially if you have a difficult site that you would like to fill quickly. Beth Chatto describes it as "slowly invasive". Slender spires of white flowers are loved by butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
