Lysimachia punctata Golden Alexander

Walberton’s® Golden Alexander is a sport of well-known variety Lysimachia Alexander. Walberton’s® Golden Alexander has stable, variegated foliage with gold margins and yellow summer flowers. It is slightly more compact than Alexander and the foliage does not seem to have the drawstring effect of the white margined parent - nor does it suffer from sun scorch.

Lysimachia punctata Walberton’s® Golden Alexander has already been launched on both sides of the Atlantic. It makes an excellent impulse purchase plant in pot sizes ranging from 1.5 litre to 3 litre, and can be grown in larger containers for specimen sales.
