Waikik Sunset produces profuse yellow and green foliage that provides a fabulous setting for brilliant yellow blooms. This plant is a heat lover and makes an excellent pot or hanging basket plant. It is very short growing and very floriferous. This plant can also be used in borders, planters, groundcover, landscape beds, mass plantings, and gardens.

This is a biennial or short-lived perennial just recently introduced to gardens. Flowers are similar to the white Gooseneck Loosestrife (Lysimachia clethroides) but in a rich burgundy-purple shade with contrasting grey-green leaves. Blooms appear in midsummer. Appreciates even moisture but adapts well to average border conditions. Plants do not spread at the root or become invasive, though they may self seed a little. Should not be confused with the noxious weed Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria). Wonderful for cutting. Attractive to butterflies. Use gloves when gathering and saving seed, as these have sharp barbs or prickles.

Similar habit to ‘Alexander’ except slightly more compact, and rather than creamy white margins, this sport glistens with its deep golden margins. Same cheery yellow flowers produce a surprisingly nice summer display of yellow on yellow.
