I have grown this plant for many years and it has never reseeded. It will form a large patch over time but is very easy to control as the roots are relatively shallow. It is a very attractive plant.

I grew 'Golden Alexander' (a more yellow variegated form) in my old garden for many years. While the clumps increased in size, they did so slowly and were never aggressive in their spread. It was a very well behaved plant and added some needed brightness to a more shady than not planting area. I especially liked the way the plant looked as it was first emerging from dormancy in spring - all the new growth had a purple-pinkish tinge.

Thank you both. I think this will look really nice against my blue spruce. It
looks almost like a shrub. The Lysimachia
would go in a low spot, if it can take
moisture.

Alternative location is dry, where the hose doesn’t reach. I have there what I realized (after buying
this one) must be other lysimachias. A pass-along from my Mom (she called it “Sundrops”), a good 20 years ago,
has similar flowers but solid green leaves. Anything there has to live on
rainfall alone.

I've grown both varieties and agree with the statements above. I can't say the variegated variety reseeded but I had some of it revert to the green variety after several years.

I checked the tag when I planted it today (in front of the blue spruce) and mine IS Golden Alexander. It will have morning sun but afternoon shade, and some moisture.
