The genus Lysimachia, which comprises about 180 species, is named after the Macedonian king of Thrace, Lysimachus, and native to central Europe and Turkey. Due to its ornamental value it is frequently grown in gardens where it is inclined to spreading and can hence become invasive. Contact may cause skin irritation of an allergic reaction.

Hostas are said to be one of the best foliage garden plants and are grown mainly for their foliage. They are available in a wide range of leaf colours, sizes and shapes, and are also valued for their flowers, which are often fragrant. Slugs and snails love them too and are hence the bane to anyone who grows hostas, as they devour the foliage with a vengeance.

This plant is a member of the primrose family and also known as red pimpernel, red chickweed and shepherd's weatherglass (because the flowers close in bad weather) and John-go-to-bed-at-noon (because its flowers close at midday). In translation, its scientific name means ‘adornment of the fields’. The species has red and blue-flowered forms, with the former being more common in southern Europe and the latter being more common in the north. The shoots of both contain toxic saponins and the roots cyclanins. People with sensitive skin can get reactions from merely touching the plant.
