Collapse ▲Trial: Perennial
Years Trialed: 2002, 2003
Good Qualities
Year 1
Bright variegated foliage (2); Very impressive; Maybe good for bouquet work, good grower; Beautiful plants.
Year 2
Striking variegated foliage (3); Very prolific, out competed weeds; My customers bought it for the foliage, not the flower, it did very well and grew more this summer, it took the heat of summer very well; Vigorous, large flower size.
Problems
Year 1
Too short (4), hopefully taller in year 2; Flower seems insignificant.
Year 2
Brown spots on leaves (2); Yellow flowers get lost with foliage; I didn’t cut it, plants grew well but flowers seemed insignificant, maybe good foliage stems; We used it as foliage because the blooms shed pretty quickly for us, the foliage held up well even in oasis; Needs to be staked, needs to be grown under 50% shade, leaf margins easily burned by direct sunlight, should be lifted and divided after two years to keep stem caliper size strong.

Comments
Year 1
This is a variegated sport of Lysimachia puntata; puntata suffer from petal shattering without postharvest silver; Not sure if yellow flower will be accepted with foliage; Foliage may make this interesting as a cut but…
Year 2
Similar to Lysimachia punctata; Poor customer appreciation; I am going to move some of it into some part shade to see if it will stretch out and maybe do even better; Best grown for foliage and cut before flowers, flowers do not add much, with the yellow blooms easily shattering in vase.
