Lysimachia - Creeping Jenny

Lysimachia is a fast-spreading perennial ground cover prized for its vibrant chartreuse to deep green foliage and low-growing, trailing habit. One of the most popular varieties, Creeping Jenny, features golden-yellow leaves that provide a bright pop of color in hanging baskets, containers, and shady garden beds.

This moisture-loving plant produces small yellow flowers in late spring to early summer and spreads easily to form a lush, flowing carpet. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is especially eye-catching when allowed to spill over edges or cascade from pots.
