Lysimachia (Creeping Jenny)
Color Name: Goldilocks
One of the most vibrant Creeping Jenny varieties available. The chartreuse-green foliage is an excellent choice for adding color to mixed containers where it can spill over the sides of the planter. As a groundcover, it creates a dense mat of foliage that is an excellent contrast against darker foliage plants or brightly-colored annuals. A reliable groundcover for any location. Especially nice in waterside gardens. Looks great filling in between rocks and spilling over container edges.
Growing Tips: Very easy to grow in virtually any location. Best in fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Keep soil moist, watering freely in dry weather. Trim back as needed to keep neat and compact.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
