Epilobium palustre
Also called Marsh Willow Herb, Swamp Willowherb
Marsh willowherb is a hairy, spindly perennial of wet ground, ditches and bog margins across the cool Northern Hemisphere. It is a wild native rather than a garden plant, and it needs consistently moist soil to thrive.
Epilobium palustre is a species of willowherb known by the common name marsh willowherb. This plant has a circumboreal distribution, and can be found further south in mountainous areas.
Locally common in the British Isles. Its distribution in Croatia is scattered, expected in all regions far enough from the coast but dependent on endangered wetland habitats.
