Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’, known in the garden as Creeping Jenny ‘Aurea’, combines yellow-toned blooms with a volume that is easy to place in a composition. The foliage has golden hues, which should be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is June-July. When mature, it reaches 10 cm in height and 45 cm in width, which makes it suitable for ground cover and border edging. The edges of the leaves add contrast and deserve a visible spot from the path.
Soil choice is essential for Creeping Jenny ‘Aurea’: humous, retaining its freshness during growth, without standing water around the crown. The preferred exposure is full sun to partial shade. For Creeping Jenny ‘Aurea’, regularly check the soil around the root ball: it must remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust watering according to rainfall; this exposure (full sun to partial shade) does not eliminate water needs. A margin corresponding to its spread of 45 cm avoids having to move the clump in the first few seasons. The indicated hardiness zone is zone 3, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.
To maintain the appeal of Creeping Jenny ‘Aurea’ after the flowers, keep the healthy foliage after flowering to allow the plant to continue its growth. Keep the crown clear and observe the regrowth before removing damaged parts. For companion planting, consider daylilies, echinaceas, and campanulas in varieties with similar needs. By composing around its volume of 10 cm by 45 cm, you will preserve the visibility of its blooms (June-July) and the circulation between plants.
