A versatile and fast-growing marginal, Lysimachia nummularia (Creeping Jenny) is perfect for softening pond edges and creating a lush, natural look. Its trailing stems carry rounded leaves that form a dense mat, often spilling beautifully over rocks and pond margins.
In summer, it produces small, bright yellow flowers that add a cheerful splash of colour. The popular ‘Aurea’ variety offers vibrant golden foliage, making it especially effective for brightening shaded areas or adding contrast around darker stonework.
Ideal for planting at the water’s edge or in shallow margins, Creeping Jenny thrives in moist conditions and quickly establishes to fill gaps and cover bare ground. It’s particularly useful for blending hard landscaping into the surrounding garden.
