Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea'

Creeping Jenny

Bright chartreuse, rounded leaves on creeping stems give this mat-forming plant a ruffled appearance. Cup-shaped, fragrant yellow flowers in summer. Excellent ground cover on banks, or cascading over walls.

Lysimachia (ly-si-mach'-ee-ah)

Family: Primulaceae · Common Name: Loosestrife

Widely diverse, these fine garden plants can fit into many areas. All prefer moist sites and will attract butterflies to the garden. Low varieties make excellent ground covers, while the taller varieties are excellent in borders and for cut flowers.
