Thank you for report of purple loosestrife. It is not an uncommon plant in the valley riparian areas. There are three biological control agents that are established in most areas where the weed exists that are doing an effective job of keeping weed populations in check.

For more information on purple loosestrife, its distribution and the biocontrols go to the ODA website: http://oregon.gov/ODA/PLANT/WEEDS/profile_purpleloosestrife.shtml

Thanks again, Tim Butler ODA Noxious Weed Control Program
