Notes
'Aurea' creeping jenny (Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea') is a perennial for ground cover, containers, rock gardens, and rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet soil of most types. It grows 3 to 6 inches tall and spreads up to 18 inches. The creeping stems stay evergreen, so you can use it to edge a bed or spill over a pot.
Pairs well with Bridal Bouquet peony, Carlton daffodil, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
