Lysimachia christinae 'Sunburst'
yellow loosestrife
Lysimachia christinae 'Sunburst' brings vibrant sunshine to your garden with its yellow buds tinged with fiery red. Its glossy dark green foliage, veined in bold red, cascades gracefully, creating a captivating display. This low-growing, wet soil thriving perennial forms a lush carpet, especially in partial shade or dappled sunlight. Bursting forth with small yellow flowers in summer, it thrives in shady, boggy areas, suppressing weeds and embellishing pond edges with its bright blooms and glossy leaves.
How to care for Lysimachia christinae Sunburst:
Plant in reliably moist or boggy soil, or grow them in a pond basket placed at the edge of a pond at a depth of 0-15cm (0-6in). These adaptable plants thrive in damp ground or shallow water, making them ideal for areas where many plants struggle.
They spread to form a dense, weed-suppressing mat of foliage and are excellent for softening pond margins or filling gaps in wet borders. Keep the soil consistently moist and trim the plants regularly to control their spread and maintain a tidy, compact shape.
