How to care for your Lysimachia Firecracker

• Light: Prefers partial shade to full sun. If it’s planted in full sun, make sure it’s getting enough water to avoid drying out.
• Water: Likes moist soil, so make sure to water it regularly. Don’t let the soil dry out completely between watering.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, you may need to amend it with compost or other organic material to improve drainage.
• Fertiliser: You can fertilisse once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertiliser.
• Pruning: Prune back any dead or damaged leaves as soon as you notice them. You can also prune the plant back in early Spring to encourage bushier growth.
• Propagation: Can be propagated by division or stem cuttings. Divide the plant every few years to keep it healthy and prevent overcrowding.

By following these care tips, you can keep your Lysimachia Firecracker looking healthy and vibrant for years to come.
