    Margarite I looked up the best place to contact and get help for the above plant. The place is called: White Flower Farm. 1-800-503-9624 or their store number is 1-860-567-8789. The store is open from 9 am to 5 pm. Address is: 167 Litchfield Rd., Morris, CT 06763. They have a catalog-they have everything. (I'm jealous). If you call the store someone there should be able to help. I wish I could have been a better help.

    It is a perennial called gooseneck loosestrife. It spreads by it's root and needs to be thinned or it will take over you flower bed. It is good as a ground cover.

    Just to mix things up....it could be a type of pachysandra. Take the leaves and flower to a local plant retailer. My pachysandra in Va. had flowers like that. Different leaves though....good luck!
