Lysimachia fortunei


Lysimachia fortunei (Lysimachia fortunei)

I found this plant today - it's going to replace some more pink geraniums. It may well spread, but that's fine by me!

I like, is it similar in size to ephemerum?

It isn't in its pot, but I googled it and it appears to grow a little shorter when it's mature.

It's either do that - or go and get a notebook, isn't it! I can never find one when I need it, either. :-((

I do like your collection of stachys Spritz. Didnt know there were so many varieties. I love the Firecracker but its a bit of a beast..how do these others measure up...the monierii (spelling) and the pink version and this?

Errr....you've confused me, Tetra. I think you might mean Lysimachia.

Yes, 'Firecracker' drives me potty, but I dig up some each year. I have L. punctata, the yellow peril, which is an absolute terror for spreading, L. clethroides, the 'goose-necked' one, which does spread too, but not a thug, this new one which as yet is unknown, one called L. 'Candela' which is a beauty - the leaves go deep red in autumn, and last but not least, L. ephemerum, which Grindle says isn't a spreader. Phew! That took some brain-work! lol.

Thanks for your answer to a cockamamie question and the time you gave to it Spritz.
Duh! if I werent such a dimwit at present I would rewrite it as it should be, but you have answered so nicely, I wont trouble you, specially as Im feeling beat now and will probly get it wrong again! lol!

Oh dear. Ask again when your brain doesn't hurt, Tetra! lol.
