Answer:

hope it hepled

Step-by-step explanation:

Purple Loosestrife grows in wet, open, sunny areas. Habitats include wet meadows or fields, stream and river banks, flood plains, ponds, lakes, tidal and non-tidal marshes and human-created habitat such as ditches

Purple loosestrife is a wetland plant native to Europe and Asia that was brought to North America in the early 19th century. This highly invasive plant was likely introduced when its seeds were included in soil used as ballast in European sailing ships and discarded in North America.
