Golden Creeping Jenny

Golden Creeping Jenny, also known as Lysimachia nummularia Aurea, is a bright and cheerful pond edge plant that adds a soft carpet of golden yellow foliage around water features, pond margins, and damp garden areas. Its trailing stems spread gently over the soil or along the edge of a pond, helping to soften hard borders and create a natural, flowing look.

This easy to grow marginal plant is ideal for wet soil, bog gardens, damp borders, stream edges, and shallow water planting. Golden Creeping Jenny looks especially attractive when planted between taller pond plants, where its low golden foliage creates contrast and light at ground level. It is also useful for natural ponds, wildlife ponds, decorative water gardens, and planted filter zones.

For best results, plant Golden Creeping Jenny in full sun or partial shade, directly into moist soil or in an aquatic planting basket at the pond edge. In sunnier positions, the foliage usually develops its brightest golden colour, while partial shade helps keep the leaves fresh during hot weather. Once established, it forms a spreading mat of decorative leaves and can be trimmed easily to keep it tidy.

Lysimachia nummularia Aurea is a hardy creeping perennial suitable for moist soil, wet margins, and very shallow water planting. It usually reaches around 5 to 10 cm in height, with spreading stems that can cover a wider area over time. The recommended planting depth is approximately 0 to 5 cm below the water surface, making it suitable for pond shelves, damp banks, bog gardens, stream margins, and soft pond edge planting.

This variety produces rounded golden yellow leaves and small yellow flowers, usually in summer. It performs best in fertile, consistently moist substrates and is especially useful as a low growing ground cover plant in aquatic and waterside planting schemes. Because it spreads naturally, occasional trimming can help maintain the desired shape and prevent it from covering nearby smaller plants.

Golden Creeping Jenny is a dependable choice for customers looking for a hardy pond plant, golden foliage plant, low growing marginal plant, aquatic ground cover, plant for wet soil, or decorative trailing plant for pond edges and water gardens.
