Notes
'Goldilocks' creeping jenny (Lysimachia nummularia 'Goldilocks') is a groundcover for 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, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows about 3 inches tall and spreads up to 36 inches. Its creeping habit and moderate growth rate let it fill gaps and spill over the edge of a pot.
Pairs well with Bridal Bouquet peony, Carlton daffodil, Prairie dropseed, and Sensitive fern.
