Lysimachia nummularia
‘Aurea’
at Digging Dog
Golden Creeping Jenny
Loosestrife
According to William Cole’s Art of Simpling (1656), Loosestrife prevents oxen from fighting. Some say the name derives from a Greek word meaning “to dissolve strife.” What we could debate is whether form follows function, or vice versa, because this showy group is as hardy as
it is attractive.
Some species are tall, others are low, but all are vigorous and easy to grow—so let them loose in cool, moist locations such as woodlands, bogs or waterside meadows. A varied group, each offers a unique foliage form. Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’ 
Native to Europe and Russia, Golden Creeping Jenny has naturalized in North America. Bearing tiny, bright yellow flowers, it creates a striking understory of round, golden foliage and, if planted at the edge of a pond, will reach into the water like rays of sunlight. For stunning contrast, place near
plants with purple foliage.
Blooms April–September. Size: 2" high x 0" & spreading; hardy to zone 5. Lysimachia nummularia Aurea (P-0545)
Each $6.00
