Lysimachia - Loosestrife

Lysimachia comes in a great variety of sorts. There are low, creeping but also tall upright species in the colours yellow, white and purple. Also cultivars have been grown with brown or variegated leaves. Normally, Lysimachia wants a moist, slightly acidic soil in the sun or half shade. Some species can become invasive, such as Lysimachia punctata. This is not a problem in a natural planting, but in the border, we would install a root barrier. Lysimachia is a perfect plant for in the border which will combine with many other plants.
