Question
Could you please help me identify this plant I could in my yard in east Tennessee? It is a creeping plant that has small yellow blooms throughout summer. It doesn’t die back in winter, but the leaves turn red.
Answer
Dear dakota.728, good morning. I do not recognize the exact species you have photographed; however, it appears to be a yellow-loosestrife (genus Lysimachia) based on the rotate corollas (i.e., open, saucer-shaped flowers) and antepetalous stamens (i.e., stamens opposite the petals). Hopefully this will get you started on your study. Best wishes.
