How to care for your Lysimachia Alexandra

  • Light: Prefers partial to full shade and will perform best in areas that receive some protection from the hot afternoon sun.
  • Soil: This plant prefers moist, well-drained soil and will not tolerate standing water. If your soil is heavy or has poor drainage, consider amending it with compost or sand to improve the soil structure.
  • Watering: Prefers consistently moist soil, but it is important to avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot. Water the plant deeply and allow the soil to dry out partially before watering again.
  • Fertilisation: This plant will benefit from a light application of a balanced fertiliser in the Spring, followed by a light feeding in the Summer. Be careful not to over fertilise, as this can lead to excessive growth and decreased flowering.
  • Pruning: Can be pruned at any time, but it is best to do so in late Winter or early Spring, just before new growth begins. Pruning will help to maintain the shape and size of the plant and encourage new growth and flowering.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your Lysimachia Alexandra healthy and thriving for years to come.
