Lysimachia congestiflora

I found this little gem at Merrifield Garden Center. It's called Lysimachia congestiflora "Dark Satin" and it has been growing very well in my farm tank for the past month. It has already put out some new leaves and they are the same as the emergent growth. I love the dark purple leaves with the green veins. It's a lovely contrast to all the reds and greens in my tank.

If it continues to have strong growth, I will bring a couple of clippings to the auction in a couple of weeks.

Did they have more. I've been hoping to pick that plant up

I haven't seen it lately. And when I picked it up at Merrifield, it was the first time I had seen it there too. It's one of those hit and miss plants in their bonsai section.

The new growth has been smaller leaves so far, so I'm really hoping that that this will become a nice scaping plant!
