Waikiki Sunset Loosestrife (Lysimachia congestiflora 'Waikiki Sunset')
lye-sih-MAK-ee-ah kon-jess-tih-FLOOR-ah 'Waikiki Sunset'

Perennial (usually grown as an annual near you) in the Primulaceae Family
A trailing, variegated-foliage selection of Lysimachia congestiflora, its green-and-yellow leaves topped with cheerful yellow flowers from late spring through fall.

'Waikiki Sunset' is a Proven Winners-branded trailing cultivar of Lysimachia congestiflora, grown mainly for its colorful variegated foliage -- green leaves broadly marked with yellow. Small, cup-shaped yellow flowers appear from late spring through fall on compact, spreading stems 2 to 10 inches tall and 10 to 12 inches wide.

It tolerates a wide range of light, from full sun to full shade, and needs average, consistently moist soil. It is self-cleaning and needs no deadheading, and is hardy as a perennial from about Zone 7a south; in colder climates it is typically grown as a trailing annual accent in containers and hanging baskets.

Pros

  • Colorful green-and-yellow variegated foliage, not just flowers, for season-long interest.
  • Tolerates everything from full sun to full shade.
  • Self-cleaning -- no deadheading needed.
  • Deer resistant.

Cons

  • Not reliably winter-hardy much north of Zone 7 — often grown as an annual.
  • Needs consistently moist soil; not drought tolerant.
This plant is probably not winter-hardy outdoors where you live.
Highlights Green-and-yellow variegated foliage paired with cheerful yellow flowers from late spring through fall — a Proven Winners trailing selection that tolerates everything from full sun to full shade.

Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

No Pricing or Availability Right Now

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
