A friend recently asked about this plant in my garden, and I couldn’t think of the name. But can you blame me? How am I supposed to keep track of all these things I buy and plant willy nilly. I figure\u00a0it’s better than letting\u00a0them\u00a0go distressed\u00a0as I wring my hands worrying about\u00a0the perfect site. Am I alone on this front? Or is just this part of that ten thousand count–wherein gardeners buy and have no idea\u00a0where they’re going to plant? I strive to be better. But I am not.<\/p>\n

They claim the common name is Loosestrife, but that seems hard to believe.<\/p>\n

I rarely see this plant available for sale, and I only have this because Megan blogged about it way back when on Nestmaker. And it also explains why all I could think of name-wise was ‘Death Star’. I knew it wasn’t right, but there was the association. (See Megan’s blog on lookalikes for further details.) Later, when we were plant shopping,\u00a0Megan espied this Lysimachia and advised me to snap it up. I\u00a0accommodated\u00a0her good idea right away.<\/p>\n

We transplanted this\u00a0particular plant from\u00a0our previous garden–and it’s a good thing, what with the unfortunate poisoning of everything left behind.<\/p>\n

That was a good bed under old lace leaf maples, with the Loostrife, Saxafraga stolonifera ‘Maroon Beauty’<\/a> and several NOID Epimediums<\/a>. They were my firsts, given to me by a neighbor. Wish I’d paid better attention, but then I had no appreciation\u00a0of the love affair that\u00a0was to ensure.<\/p>\n

And here’s another shot of Lace Leaf garden from the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Sigh. I always remind myself that the new peeps had every right to change the garden to their liking. But seriously, how could anyone look at this and think poison was the ticket?<\/p>\n

But I digress.<\/p>\n

If you can get your hands on the Lysimachia, take advantage. And it will make all your dreams come true. I swear. Cistus Nursery<\/a> lists as Zone 7. Far Reaches<\/a> shows Zone 6. Fair warning.<\/p>\n

Cheers<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
