(aka Golden Creeping Jenny, Moneywort)
(Lysimachia nummularia)
Creeping Jenny in a container with Calibrachoa and Spike Plant
Hardy to Zone 3
Bloom Time - Summer
Colors - Sometimes has yellow flowers in summer
Foliage - Needle-shaped (succulent)
Size - Less than 6" tall - spreads to 1 - 2 ft.
Exposure - Full sun to part shade
Culture - A low-growing, rampant, groundcover with rounded, golden yellow leaves. In summer, it produces many cup-shaped, bright yellow flowers. A good container plant as well as a groundcover. It roots easily and can become a nuisance if not kept in check (for this reason, it is best kept in containers or constricted areas). It prefers a moist, but well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. Soil should not dry out in summer. Full sun or partial shade, but color is best in full sun.
