Lysimachia punctata ‘Golden Alexander’ (PP13547)
Loosestrife (Zone 4)
Pale yellow and green variegated foliage is the draw of this plant. It is very showy, but not overpowering. Especially nice when the sun is shining on it, making the foliage glow. Yellow blooms appear around and up the stems in summer. Just like its relative L. ‘Alexander’, this plant is easy to grow with a nice upright growth habit. It grows best in full sun. Grows 36" tall.
