About this product
Yellow loosestrife (Lysimachia punctata) "Golden Alexander" is a variegated perennial with green leaves broadly edged in golden yellow and starry yellow flowers in summer. Buy Lysimachia "Golden Alexander" in Estonia from ALLIKASILM — a decorative perennial all season, in a 1 L pot.
It grows to about 50–75 cm and flowers in July–August, with the flowers held in the leaf axils near the top of the stems. It is less vigorous than the plain green species, so it suits smaller borders too.
Use it in perennial borders, by ponds, in moist corners and in partial shade, where the variegated foliage brightens the planting. A good partner for blue and purple perennials.

Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in sun or partial shade in fertile, moisture-retentive soil. In full sun the yellow margins are brighter, but the soil must not dry out.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly in dry weather — Lysimachia likes moisture. Apply a balanced fertiliser or compost in spring.
Care. Cut back faded stems to keep the clump tidy. If it spreads too much, divide it in spring or autumn.
Overwintering. A hardy perennial. Cut the top growth down in autumn if you wish; it regrows from the roots in spring.
