L thyrsiflora is a common native in all Norway too and always grows in wet conditions, bogs (not Sphagnum bogs), shallow shores, moorland etc. It is a nice plant but I don't grow it in my garden. It has very loose, spreading habit quite different from punctata.

I grow L ciliata 'Firecracker! in my garden but it can't compete with the ferns and slugs so it keeps restricted Undecided

I also grow L nummularia and the rare native L nemorum. The first one spreads into the lawn but I like it! The second one is very modest and do best in the woodland.

Mark, I've yet to try either; I have collected seed of L thyrsiflora, but have not sown any; L ciliata I only visited the one time, I did not get back down that road to collect later on....
If I remember correctly, Kristl noted both species as having very limited germination without GA3.. might try them with native, esp wetland, soil...
thyrsiflora at least looks like cuttings might be a possibility as well; it grows on the farm, and even right on my acreage. L ciliata did seem to tend to large stands, no idea how easy it would be to control in the 'garden', but I'd be quite happy to give it a semi-wild area with some of its natural cohorts here--the wild chives it was flowering with in some spots is a nice complement...

I think all species of Lysimachia are easily rooted from stem or rhizome cuttings!

Both nice, but L nemora is very cute!

Good to hear about cuttings, will have to try some...
