Waikiki Sunset Lysimachia

Waikiki Sunset is a low, spreading Lysimachia with green-and-yellow variegated leaves and bright yellow flowers. Use it as groundcover at a moist bed edge or let it spill from a container or hanging basket. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun or shade and provide moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. The selection is listed for USDA Zones 7a–11b; a sheltered site helps in colder winter conditions. Its shallow, creeping stems form a mat, so allow space to spread or contain it with edging. [Proven Winners’ Waikiki Sunset profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/lysimachia/waikiki-sunset-lysimachia-congestiflora) and the [NC State species profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/lysimachia-congestiflora/) describe its size, light and soil needs. ## Flowering and Uses The exact-selection profile describes yellow flowers from spring into summer and also lists fall bloom and fall interest. Its 2–10 inch height and 10–12 inch spread suit the front of a border, groundcover plantings, hanging baskets, window boxes and mixed containers. ## Maintenance The selection is self-cleaning, so deadheading is not necessary. Monitor spreading stems where it may extend beyond the planting area.
