Lysimachia aka Loosestrife
Taxonomy ID: 21860
Lysimachia is a genus of flowering plants, consisting of 193 accepted species. Traditionally classified in the family Primulaceae, it was later transferred to the family Myrsinaceae based on a molecular phylogenetic study. However, this family was eventually merged back into the Primulaceae. Lysimachia is a clump-forming, rhizomatous herbaceous perennial that grows up to 30cm high. It has lance-shaped green leaves and dense, upright, sometimes arching spikes. During the summer, it produces small, saucer-shaped white flowers. One specific species, Golden Creeping Jenny, is an easy and fast-growing ground cover. It is also suitable for containers. Its foliage is yellow-green and slightly rounded, and it blooms with an abundance of bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers in early summer.
