Susiebelle very kindly gave me a plant last year. 
It has been flowering for a few weeks now.

I love it too! Gorgeous. Thanks for the photo.

That is definitely going on my list for next year. I believe it is meant to be quite easy from seed?

Beautiful.

I love this plant too and shoyuld have some seeds lurking somewhere.  I love lysimachia clethroides too but really dislike the tall yellow flowered forms.  I've recently bought some green, gold and bronze ground cover lysimachia but can't remember it's name.  It's gorgeous too but I suspect it's going to have yellow flowers and that might be a problem.

Looks lovely Betty so pleased it came through winter for you.
Although they are supposed to be perennial I find they never over winter for me so I grow them as biennials.
I don't find them that easy to grow from seed, think they should be.  Initially when saving my own seed I didn't realise that the outer case needed to be smashed to release the fine seed. Now I sow loads of seeds and hope for the best this year only two came through, but they are really worth it.

am loving them too. shall be on my next order list too! read that they take upto 4 wks to germinate....do they need any heat at all?

[Susiebelle]

I place seeds under cover on a window cill properator, as you say irridium they can take a long time to germinate so I have to make sure the compost does not dry out before they do - still recon they are well worth it!
