Purple loosestrife, Lythrum salicaria, is a lovely purple flower, but a dangerous plant in Michigan. It's originally from Eurasia and was brought to the US through gardening, but quickly escaped people's yards. This invader can take over wet areas, making it hard for native plants to grow and difficult for animals to find cover in its dense clusters. It can also soak up wetland areas, removing important habitat for wildlife!
