Lysimachia punctata ‘Golden Alexander’

 

Lovely splashes of yellow cup shaped flowers along its erect spikes with golden variegated foliage. Extremely tolerant, easy to grow perennial for mid-border or woodland walk. Whorled lysimachia can spread so keep an eye on it. Since it’s habitat is relatively moist, planting it in more average conditions will help to control its spread. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
