Lysimachia punctata “Alexander’s form”

£5.50

This variegated form brings a touch of glamour to a plant often unfairly dismissed, when seen in rubbishy situations where it thrives. New leaves have broad cream margins, suffused with pink, retaining cream and green in mature leaves. Has spires of yellow flowers in leaf axils in mid to late summer. If kept pruned retains fresh variegated effect.
