Lysimachia ciliata 'Firecracker'

This purple-leaved Loosetrife prefers moist soils, wilting if the ground dries out, but it runs like mint when conditions suit it. The yellow flowers aren't large but they make a strong contrast with the deep purple foliage. To keep it tidy and prevent it looking lanky and unhappy, shear it over for fresh foliage.
