Description
Lysimachia nummularia ‘Goldie’, commonly known as Creeping Jenny, is a vigorous, low-growing perennial groundcover prized for its vibrant chartreuse to golden-yellow foliage that adds bright color to shaded or partially sunny garden areas. Native to Europe and introduced widely in North America, this plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often used for erosion control, ground coverage, or as an accent in container gardens. Its trailing stems can spread quickly, creating a dense carpet that contrasts beautifully with darker greens or flowering plants. The small, cup-shaped yellow flowers appear in late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators such as bees. ‘Goldie’ is valued for its tolerance to a range of light conditions and its ability to remain colorful throughout the growing season. This cultivar’s unique golden foliage distinguishes it from the typical green-leaved species, making it a popular choice for adding year-round brightness to landscapes and garden designs.
