description for "Hardy Bog Plants: Lysimachia nummularia"
Creeping Jenny creeps around waterfalls and boggy areas. Blooms with nice yellow flowers, but they are rather small and insignificant. is a fast-growing groundcover with a spreading habit. 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
