Golden Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’)

Golden Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’)

Golden Creeping Jenny is a fast-spreading perennial groundcover valued for its vibrant golden foliage and trailing growth habit. This cultivar of Lysimachia nummularia is known for its bright chartreuse leaves, which add strong colour contrast in both garden beds and containers.

This herbaceous perennial forms low, creeping stems covered in round, coin-shaped leaves. In late spring to early summer, it produces small, cup-shaped yellow flowers that blend seamlessly with the foliage. Its trailing habit makes it ideal for softening edges and spilling over containers or walls.

Golden Creeping Jenny is well-suited for groundcover, borders, containers, and hanging baskets. It is often used to brighten shaded areas or provide contrast in mixed plantings.

Sun Requirements ▾

Full sun to partial shade. Several hours of sunlight encourage the brightest golden-yellow foliage, while plants grown in more shade typically develop greener chartreuse colouring. In hot, exposed locations, some afternoon shade can help prevent stress and scorching while maintaining attractive foliage.

Watering Instructions ▾

Moderate to high. Golden Creeping Jenny performs best with consistently moist soil and can tolerate wetter conditions than many common garden perennials. Water regularly during hot, dry weather, particularly when plants are grown in containers. Established plants may tolerate brief dry periods, but prolonged drought can cause foliage decline.

Care Tips ▾

Trim or shear plants whenever necessary to control their spread and maintain a tidy appearance. Creeping stems can root as they travel across moist soil, so monitor plants regularly where a contained planting is desired. It can spread aggressively under favourable conditions and should be planted thoughtfully to prevent it from moving into unwanted areas. A moisture meter is a great way to gauge your plant's moisture levels.
