As a rule, lysimachia prefer moist rich soils, but we find many types to be amazingly tolerant of a wide range of conditions. The spreading nature of lysimachia also lends itself to hanging baskets or growing over a wall.
Using Loosestrife in the Garden
Pair the yellow-leaved lysimachia with dark plants such as a black-leaf colocasia, or Persicaria 'Red Dragon'. Obversely, purple Lysimachia will look great paired with yellow-flowering plants such as daylilies, coreopsis, or gaillardia.
