Lysimachia nummularia 'Goldilocks'

Common name: Creeping Jenny 'Goldilocks'

Description: This vigorous trailing perennial features bright golden-yellow, rounded leaves that create a cheerful cascading effect throughout the growing season. In summer, small yellow cup-shaped flowers appear amongst the golden foliage. The attractive leaves cover trailing stems, bringing year-round colour and ground-covering ability to containers and moist areas. 'Goldilocks' is perfect for hanging baskets, containers, pond margins, and as ground cover where its trailing habit and bright foliage can spill over edges or carpet the ground. The golden foliage provides excellent contrast with flowering plants and brings light to shady, moist areas. This hardy perennial offers months of bright colour with minimal maintenance.
