If you want a plant that quickly fills gaps with bright colour then Lysimachia ‘Creeping Jenny’ is a brilliant choice. A fast growing perennial much loved for its bright golden green trailing foliage. Ideal for softening the edges of borders, spilling over containers or creating a colourful carpet beneath trees and shrubs.

Creeping Jenny’s small, cheerful yellow flowers bloom in late spring and summer, adding even more interest to an already eye-catching plant. Its trailing stems make it equally at home in hanging baskets, window boxes and patio pots where the foliage can cascade beautifully over the sides

Lysimachia 'Creeping Jenny' is a gardener's favorite for many reasons, one being its versatility. It does well in sun or part shade and is content in most moist soils. It’s also a great plant for the edge of ponds or other soggy areas of the garden where many other plants don’t work. Once it gets going, it spreads quickly to become a lovely ground cover that suppresses weeds and gives a natural, low-maintenance display. This easy care perennial requires very little care. Trim back any overgrown stems to keep it looking tidy, and divide clumps every few years if you want to spread it to other parts of the garden. It is hardy and will return year after year, providing reliable colour through the seasons. Lysimachia 'Creeping Jenny' is a reliable option whether you want to brighten a border, add interest to containers or need an attractive ground cover. With its bright foliage, happy flowers and easy growing nature it is a valuable addition to gardens of all sizes.

Watering Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist while the plant establishes. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods rather than little and often, allowing the soil to drain between waterings. Container-grown plants should be checked more frequently in warm or windy weather.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in sun or partial shade in fertile, well-drained loam. Choose a position with good airflow and enough space for the plant to reach its mature size. Mulch after planting and keep the root zone free from prolonged waterlogging, particularly through winter.
