in Gwen's garden July 2, 2010 |
Lysimachia clethroides
I got divisions from Gwen, because "she had so much" --- well, yeah, they are aggressive. I put these in pots to keep them controlled.
They actually look good in the pots, the arching form is a nice complement to trailing soapwort. I like the white curved flower spikes, which do look like the necks of geese.

It is now an ex-plant.
I liked it, and keeping it in a container was working well, but in 2012 it grew in pots but did not bloom. I have to assume this aggressive spreader did not like to be so root bound in a pot.
I didn't want to put it in the garden for fear it would overtake everything, so I ended up eliminating this plant. I did like it though, when it bloomed and in fall when the leaves turned golden.
