Lysimachia punctata

Yellow Loosestrife is a highly ornamental perennial that puts out masses of golden yellow flowers from late spring to early fall - what a show! This rhizomatous plant is exceptionally easy to grow and will quickly fill an area - do be careful though as it can quickly become invasive if not well managed. Prefers rich, moisture-retentive soils and would be happiest planted in a bog garden in full sun.
