Lysimachia nummularia 'Goldi' (Creeping Jenny)

Goldi creeping jenny is a golden-leaved groundcover that lights up shaded and partly shaded spaces with its bright, coin-shaped leaves in a warm chartreuse to soft gold. The color is most vivid in sun and softens to a luminous lime green in shadier conditions, giving it a versatility that few foliage groundcovers can match. In early to midsummer, cheerful cup-shaped yellow flowers appear at the leaf axils.

This is a low-growing, trailing perennial that spreads steadily by creeping stems, rooting where nodes contact the soil. It is an excellent choice for filling gaps along pathways, spilling over the edges of containers and raised beds, or carpeting the ground beneath trees and shrubs.

Creeping jenny thrives in moist, humus-rich soil and tolerates periodic waterlogging. It is semi-evergreen to evergreen in mild winters.
