Contrasts in the wide border.


Contrasts in the wide border. (Lysimachia ciliata)

Now that the Lysimachia ciliata 'Firecracker' is coming up, there are interesting colour contrasts appearing.

Who says you need flowers for colour?

I actually prefer the Lysimachia without its flowers, Andrew!

Great border - full of colour and contrasting foliage.

Nice and rich in contrasts. Well planted Spritz.

I took a whole lot of Lysimachia out in the autumn to plant the others - and was worried I hadn't left enough! But, there it is still, and I know it spreads.

A few years ago, I dug my whole plant of the lysimachia out and replanted a small piece - it sulked for a few years before getting going again. I bought some Hammeredge (can't remember where though) - pieces of plastic a few inches deep you can knock into the ground - which forms a barrier and stops its wandering tendencies
