This
bold 1-2" ground cover provides a splash of bright
yellow foliage if planted in full sun. Planting
in shade turns the foliage to an interesting lime-green
color. Golden Creeping Jenny highlights other yellow
variegated shrubs and looks
great planted plants with bluish foliage. The contrast
of blue complements
yellow and makes a stunning composition. Can take
foot traffic and tough cultural conditions, even
soggy soil and standing water. Not native.
Lysimachia
nummularia "Aurea" is a beautiful variety of Lysimachia
nummularia, and it is most decorative when planted
in small groups.
