A wonderful, ground-covering, evergreen plant which produces mounds of golden to chartreuse coloured foliage, commonly used to cascade from a window box or basket. The trailing stems make an excellent weed smothering carpet which is later enhanced by cup-shaped yellow flowers. ‘Goldilocks’ is also a great ground cover plant for moist areas of the garden in sun or partial shade for softening pond edges.
How to care for Lysimachia Goldilocks:
'Goldilocks' copes with dry periods but for best results keep well watered over the warmer months; these versatile plants will thrive in a boggy soil or alongside a water garden making this very useful to plant where other plants have difficulties. Trim regularly to maintain a neat shape.
