Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea'
Vigorous golden-leaved ground cover with yellow flowers in early summer; thrives in moist, sunny to semi-shaded sites, ideal for borders or pond edges.
Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea', commonly known as golden creeping Jenny, is a low-growing, spreading perennial prized for its vivid golden-yellow foliage. This cultivar forms dense mats with its trailing, rooting stems, making it an excellent ground cover in borders, between paving stones, or around ponds. It typically grows to 5–10 cm tall and can spread widely. Its rounded, coin-like leaves are a striking yellow, providing a bright accent in shaded or mixed planting areas.
From May to July, small, cup-shaped yellow flowers appear in the leaf axils, adding ornamental value during early summer. This plant thrives in moist, humus-rich soils in partial shade to full sun. It tolerates wet conditions well, making it particularly suitable for pond edges or damp, shady gardens.
Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' is low-maintenance; it can be cut back if it spreads too vigorously. In smaller gardens, occasional trimming may be needed to keep it in check. It is fully hardy in Belgium and partly loses its foliage in winter.
Ecologically, the flowers offer some nectar to bees and pollinators, though the plant's main value lies in ground coverage and biodiversity enhancement in naturalistic gardens.
