Creeping Jenny
What: Lysimachia nummularia is a vigorous, low-growing groundcover featuring emerald green round leaves and bright yellow cup-shaped flowers. This almost indestructible plant grows only 4 inches tall but spreads up to 3 feet wide.
Best use: Creeping Jenny excels as a fast-growing, weed-suppressing groundcover in both sunny and shaded areas. It’s perfect as a “spiller” in containers and hanging baskets, and works beautifully as border edging where its bright foliage creates visual interest.
