Codlins And Cream

Codlins and Cream (Epilobium hirsutum), also known as Great Hairy Willowherb, is a robust perennial herb in the family Onagraceae, widespread across temperate regions of Europe, Asia, and introduced populations in North America, Australia, and parts of Africa. Plants grow 60–150 centimetres tall, covered in soft, spreading hairs that give the species its common name 'hairy', and produce showy four-petalled flowers of deep rose-pink with a white centre—the namesake 'codlins and cream' referencing the pale and rosy colour combination. The species is an obligate wetland plant, colonising riversides, canal margins, fens, ditches, and marshy ground where soils remain consistently moist or waterlogged. It spreads vigorously by both wind-dispersed seeds and underground rhizomes, often forming dense monospecific stands that can outcompete native riparian vegetation and is considered invasive in some parts of North America and Australia. Ecologically, it provides important nectar and pollen resources for bumblebees, hoverflies, and other pollinators during summer. The species is assessed as Least Concern by the IUCN given its broad distribution and stable populations across its native Eurasian range. Young shoots were historically eaten in some regions, and the plant has been used in folk medicine for its astringent properties.
