Creeping Jenny Green
(Lysimachia nummularia)
Brighten up the edges of your garden with the lush, trailing beauty of Creeping Jenny Green, a fast-growing groundcover loved for its vivid green foliage and spreading habit. This low-growing perennial forms a dense mat of rounded, coin-shaped leaves that spill gracefully over walls, containers, or the edges of flower beds, bringing soft texture and vibrant color to the landscape.
In late spring to early summer, it produces small, bright yellow, star-shaped flowers that add a cheerful accent to its already attractive foliage. It thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates moist to wet soils, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, borders, or areas around ponds and streams.
Whether used to soften pathways, trail from containers, or fill in between stepping stones, Creeping Jenny Green adds beauty and function with minimal effort.
