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.
If using as a boggy/marginal aquatic, plant out in reliably moist or boggy soil, or pot up into a pond basket and place at the margins of a pond at a depth of 0-15cm (0-6"). Low maintenance, trim only to check growth.
