Hey Clyde,
I know you are fond of lysimachia mummularia. But...............this plant
covers a half acre of land near my big pond. It cannot be completely removed
in one person's lifetime. Yet, it is for sale in many nurseries. What are
you doing to contain this little pest? It is a carpet of yellow bloom in
early summer but otherwise is one of those plants that take up housekeeping
with one a root fragment.
I like l. ciliata also. It turns green here midsummer and we cut it in half
for new foliage.
