Lysimachia nummularia Goldilocks

Common Name:
Creeping Jenny 'Goldilocks'

Description:
Lysimachia nummularia 'Goldilocks', commonly known as Creeping Jenny 'Goldilocks', is a low-growing perennial celebrated for its vibrant, golden-yellow foliage. The plant forms an attractive mat of round to heart-shaped, glossy leaves along trailing stems, creating a lush ground cover. In early to mid-summer, it produces small, cup-shaped yellow flowers in the leaf axils, adding to its ornamental appeal. 'Goldilocks' thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers reliably moist, well-drained soils. In Melbourne's climate, it can be used effectively in containers, hanging baskets, rock gardens, or as a ground cover, where its trailing habit provides a cascading effect. Regular watering is essential, especially during the warmer months, to maintain its lush appearance.
