Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’, commonly known as Golden Creeping Jenny, is a vibrant and low-growing perennial prized for its striking foliage and spreading habit. This cultivar is distinguished by its rounded, coin-like leaves that exhibit a brilliant golden-yellow color, adding a luminous contrast to garden beds, borders, or containers. The plant typically reaches a height of just 2 to 4 inches but can spread widely, forming a dense mat that effectively suppresses weeds and covers the ground.
During the summer months, Golden Creeping Jenny produces small, cup-shaped flowers that are a subtle yellow, further enhancing its decorative appeal. These blooms are not only charming but also attract pollinators like bees to the garden. The plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and can perform well in both sun and partial shade, making it versatile for various garden settings. It is also popularly used in water garden settings and as a trailing plant in hanging baskets, where its foliage can cascade beautifully over the edges.
