Bush from Mount Auburn | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

I saw this plant at Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, MA, June 27, 2016 and have been unable to identify it since.

laura735 Master Identifier says:

I can’t see the plant’s leaves clearly to be certains. Maybe a cultivar in the loostrife group (Lysimachia)? I’m guessing maybe the lance-leaf loostrife (Lysimachia lanceolata var. purpurea)? Check it out and see if you have a match. Best wishes! http://www.newmoonnursery.com/plant/Lysimachia-lanceolata-var-purpurea
