 | Lysimachia punctata ‘Alexander’ |
| Common name : Yellow Loosestrife |

| |
| Not to be confused with the noxious weed Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria). An outstanding selection from England, this will spread moderately to form a small patch. More refined than the typical green-leaved form, the variegated leaves remain attractive all season long, with bold margins of creamy-white, tinged with pink in the spring. Spikes of starry yellow flowers contrast beautifully with the foliage. An excellent, long-lasting cut flower. Good at the waterside, the border, or in containers. USPP#10598, CPBR#0858: unlicensed propagation prohibited.

What others say about this plant...
|
Give this plant a nice warm summery spot and you will be rewarded with the soft green and palest of cream of an old pillow — too bad about the yellow flowers. Did we really wish for a variegated thug?; Bob Lilly, Zone 8", |
