    Fairly rapidly ; appreciates a moist soil , dappled shade to full sun.

  • There's plenty of moisture here in the pennines!

    Not as rampant as Lysimachia Firecracker or the straight L. punctata which are thugs.

  • Ah Yes, lots of both of those round here, but very good if you've got a big spot to fill. `The small field in question is completely neglected by owner full of nettles (good for insects) and himalayan balsam etc. So thugs wouldn't harm and would add bit more colour. I've had a bad year of weeds crossing the border into my garden image
