Re: Lysimachia 'Firecracker'

Hi, 
Thought I might mention what I thought was a beautiful combo- with the 
Lysimachia ciliata, the equally naughty Johnson's Blue Geranium.  It was 
beautiful, since the yellow blooms come after the blue flowers have are all 
but completely gone.  That vivid periwinkle blue next to the purple-bronze 
foliage was a knockout. (This year the geranium turned into a holy mess, so 
perhaps I need to rethink this plant!)
I have to say, the invasive quality of the LYS is getting on my nerves this 
year, it's 3rd in my garden, and I wouldn't plant it in a deep, full bed, as 
it winds its way through the other plants and would get completely entangled. 
 Mine is a good 4' high by now and 90% of it is still purple and it is in 
full bloom.  I bought it for it's pretty foliage:  two 4" pots at my 
neighborhood nursery UNMARKED . ( Risk is my middle name :D )  I have no idea 
of the cultivar.  I also have a Lysimachia that has variagated green and 
cream foliage with yellow flowers (yuck, I agree with Dean) tucked in amongst 
the leaves.  Can't remember what it is. It seems to be staying in a little 
clump.  Are all the Lysimachias rampant?
