PondScape Creeping Jenny Marginal Plant

You can do either. The pot allows for easy placement and containment, but you can also remove the plant and tuck it into rock crevices or marginal planting baskets to allow the stems to trail naturally into the water.

It prefers moderate lighting. While it needs sufficient light to maintain its vibrant golden hue, extremely intense, direct sun can sometimes scorch the leaves or encourage unwanted algae growth in the surrounding water.

Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’ is a vigorous grower and can spread quickly across damp soil or shallow water. It is best to monitor its growth periodically and trim back any stems that begin to overtake other plants in your water garden.

Golden Creeping Jenny is generally hardy, but its survival depends on your specific climate. In regions with harsh winters, the foliage may die back, but the roots often remain dormant and will regrow once temperatures rise in the spring.

While it is considered an undemanding plant, it will show its best growth and brightest color with supplemental nutrition. If your pond is well-stocked with fish, they often provide enough natural nutrients, but supplemental CO2 and fertilizers can be used to boost growth in more controlled aquascapes.
