    Trailing stems of chartreuse tinged round leaves. Clusters of bright yellow flowers bloom all summer.

    Golden creeping Jenny is a low-growing, rampant, evergreen ground cover with rounded, golden yellow leaves. In summer, it produces many cup-shaped, bright yellow flowers.

    Noteworthy characteristics: This cultivar can withstand damper soils than many other types of ground covers and can tolerate limited foot traffic.

    Care: Grow in a moist, but well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. Soil should not dry out in summer. Full sun or partial shade, but color is best in full sun.

    Propagation: Sow seed in containers outdoors in spring. Divide in spring or autumn.

    Problems: Rust and leaf spot are possible, but generally no serious disease or insect problems. Can be invasive.
