Lysimachia

Herbaceous and evergreen perennial which mainly likes growing in damp grassland and woodland or near water in subtropical regions. Leaf shapes may vary, but leaves are often hairy. The 5-petaled flowers can be shaped liked stars, saucers, or cups, and are most often white or yellow, and sometimes pink and purple. Larger species can be used in a moist border, bog garden, or on the edge of a pond, or for naturalizing in a wild or woodland setting. Smaller, low-growing species make good groundcovers.
Needs moist but well-drained soil that does not dry out in summer and lots of organic matter. Full sun or partial shade.
