The Purple Loosestrife Project at Michigan State University needs your help.
Have you seen large colonies of this vibrant purple summertime flower growing in your area?
You can help us decide where to release natural enemies as part of Michigan's purple loosestrife biological control program by reporting large patches of this pretty weed. It blooms from July through August.
