description for "Hardy Bog Plants: Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea'"
'Aurea', known commonly as golden moneywort or golden creeping Jenny, is a fast-growing groundcover with a spreading habit. It's noted for its small, rounded bright green, almost yellow leaves. Lysimachia is a group of vigorous plants, native mostly to Europe and Asia. This plant will do very well anywhere where there is consistent moisture. But beware!! Creeping Jenny will quickly take over wide patches of the garden unless it is kept in check. However, it will cascade wonderfully over container edges if provided with moisture and partial shade. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
