Lysimachia lanceolata 'Burgundy Mist'

Most gardeners are familiar with Creeping Jenny, but stare blankly at the genus name of Lysimachia. Lance-leafed Loosestrife is in that same family as the trailing favorite, but is as different as night and day. 'Burgundy Mist' stands tall, up to two feet tall and wide, and has narrow, burgundy-hued, lance-shaped leaves. This variety can handle wet areas that may not drain well, and suppresses weeds nicely. Lance-leafed Loosestrife prefers sunny locations but can handle light shade, and works well as a ground cover or filler for container planters and borders. Like Creeping Jenny, 'Burgundy Mist' comes back each spring.
