Like a sunrise blanketing your garden, if you have never seen this plant, you are in for a treat! Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea,' often called Golden Creeping Jenny or Golden Moneywort, with its vibrant chartreuse green foliage is one of the most striking groundcovers available. This is the low growing, herbaceous perennial you will want when you are seeking a filler to aggressively form a bold contrast or pop of color.

In the early summer, cupped (3/4 inch diameter) golden yellow blooms cover this tasteful ground cover. Creeping Jenny is skilled at naturalizing, and while she is perfect cascading over stone walls, filling woodland gardens, under taller plants, running along paths, filling up banks and in hanging baskets, you will want to avoid any border areas adjacent to lawns where she'll insist on taking over.

Unlike most other groundcovers, Creeping Jenny prefers moist and damp soils thriving by streams, near water gardens, or alongside ponds and pools. Because she tolerates light foot traffic, she makes a gorgeous frame to brick pavers or stepping stones. Resistant to both deer and rabbits as well as willing to grow on slopes, Creeping Jenny is an ideal low maintenance option for erosion control.

Because of her medium to fast growth rate, a naked slope can easily be covered in a gorgeous lime green carpet of color in no time. You simply won't be disappointed with this plant because the foliage steals the show.

Gardener Tips
Aurea's leaves are golden yellow when grown in full sun and lime green when grown in the shade, so keep that in mind when choosing a location for her. Though it dies back in winter in northernmost zones, it is evergreen in most of the country.

Exactly as promised

Product reviewed: Golden Creeping Jenny {3 1/2 in. Pots min 25}

These were healthy plants that arrived in perfect condition. They were carefully packed in damp newspaper. The only caution I would offer is that they are fairly delicate. There's so much foliage that you'll need to take them out of the box and separate... Read full review >
Beautiful color between flagstones!

This was a great purchase. Spreads fairly quickly, so it does require frequent trimming when used between flagstones in a walkway. Beautiful color, provides great contrast!

I was very pleased with the way they were packaged. They were delivered on time but late in the evening. I removed the top of the box and all the paper and re-wet the plants until I could plant them the next morning. They were all very healthy and are doing... Read full review >

The plants came in 4 inch pots - I expected 2 inch pots.
The roots were well established.
The plants were well along and legnthly which I did not expect.
They responded well to watering, and a week later they are happy and doing well.
Ordered 24 and haven't lost one.

Care
The only long-term care necessary for this plant is to not let her dry out between watering. So, plan for regular drinks when selecting the location for planting.
If using between pavers or stepping stones, it is recommended that you plant them such that the soil level is one to one-and-a-half inches below the top of the walking surface to allow room for the plants to compress when stepped on.
Deadheading spent flower heads is recommended to promote extended blooming.
