Lysimachia ciliata Firecracker
One of the best foliage contrast plants for summer borders, Lysimachia ciliata ‘Firecracker’ instantly transforms planting schemes with its deep burgundy-purple leaves and vibrant golden-yellow flowers. The star-shaped blooms appear along upright stems in early to mid-summer, glowing brilliantly against the dark foliage and creating a bold, high-impact display. Even when not in flower, its richly coloured leaves provide season-long interest, making it a superb choice for adding depth and drama to the garden.
Thriving in full sun to partial shade, ‘Firecracker’ prefers moist soil and performs especially well in reliably damp areas. It suits cottage gardens, prairie-style planting, wildlife-friendly borders and waterside settings, where its striking foliage enhances layered, naturalistic designs. It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, Echinacea, Rudbeckia, or late-flowering Persicaria for a vibrant, textural combination. Hardy, dependable and easy to grow, this low-maintenance perennial spreads steadily into an impressive clump, delivering bold colour and reliable performance year after year.
Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
