Very vigorous, award-winning Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’ (Golden Creeping Jenny) is a low-growing evergreen perennial forming an attractive mat of rounded to heart-shaped leaves, 1 in. long (2.5 cm), along the trailing stems. The foliage ranges from lime green to soft chartreuse in shade to a brassy gold in full sun. Blooming in early to midsummer, single, bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers, 1 in. across (2 cm), adorned with five pointed lobes are borne in the leaf axils. Wonderful in containers or hanging baskets where it will spill gracefully. Equally useful in rock gardens or as casual ground cover. Great as an edging plant near bog gardens. Use golden creeping Jenny carefully as it can be invasive.
