Plant Profile: Lysimachia nummularia

Creeping Jenny, a low-growing member of the primrose family, serves as an effective ground cover by rooting at its nodes as it spreads across the soil. While it typically remains non-flowering, it produces charming yellow cup-shaped blooms on occasion. This plant thrives in moist, nutrient-rich soil but tends to spread more slowly in drier, less fertile conditions. It is ideal for use on slopes, along stream banks, near ponds, or even cascading over walls and in containers. However, it is regarded as invasive in various states.
