Creeping jenny | Lysimachia nummularia

    Description

    Creeping Jenny, Lysimachia nummularia, is a low, spreading marginal plant valued for its rounded green leaves, trailing stems and yellow summer flowers. Its mat-forming habit makes it especially useful around pond edges, where it can soften baskets, stones, liner edges or the rims of raised and container ponds.

    This is a practical choice for creating a more settled, natural-looking pond margin without adding height or heavy structure. The stems creep and trail gently, helping to cover bare edges and link the pond visually with surrounding planting. In summer, small yellow flowers appear among the foliage, adding a bright seasonal detail while keeping the overall effect calm and informal.

    Creeping Jenny grows best in consistently moist or wet conditions and is well suited to shallow pond margins, boggy ground and damp garden areas. It is also useful in smaller ponds and container ponds, where its low growth can help soften the edge without overwhelming the space if trimmed as needed.

    Because this plant spreads by rooting along its stems, it should be positioned thoughtfully and managed where space is limited. In the right place, it is a reliable, wildlife-friendly native plant for customers wanting soft, natural pond-edge cover.

      Care Instructions

      Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia) is an easy-care marginal pond plant suited to full sun to part shade. Use it around pond edges where its trailing green foliage can soften the margin, spread as ground cover on damp or dry soil, float gently across the water surface, or hang from raised pond sides.

      This medium-growing plant is a good choice for natural-looking pond and water garden planting schemes. It produces yellow flowers from June to August and can help provide cover around the water’s edge, supporting a more wildlife-friendly pond environment.

      Care: Trim Creeping Jenny as required at any time during the growing season to keep the growth neat and within the space available. It is slightly more vigorous than the golden form, so occasional trimming may help manage its spread.

      Ordering, Shipping, Tracking and Returns
      Ordering & delivery


      Some products are ready for immediate dispatch, while others are sold for a later delivery period so that they can reach you in good condition and at the right point in the growing season.

      The expected delivery period for the product or variant you choose will be shown below the Add to basket button and again in the basket and checkout.

      30 litre plants and some larger items are sent by specialist pallet delivery rather than standard parcel.

      If your order contains products with different delivery timings, it may be split into more than one shipment. Plants or products that are ready for immediate dispatch will normally be sent first, while later-season plants will be sent when they are ready. This helps us send live plants at the appropriate point in the season and in suitable condition to travel.

      For full details, please see our Shipping Policy.

      Returns & problems on arrival

      Because we sell live aquatic plants and molluscs, some parts of our policy work differently from standard retail.

      Live plants and molluscs are perishable and are not suitable for routine returns once they have been prepared for dispatch.

      If there is a genuine issue on arrival, please contact us within 24 hours using the form on our Contact page, with your order number, photographs, and a short explanation.

      We will always review genuine issues carefully and fairly. Depending on the circumstances, the appropriate remedy may include a replacement, refund, or partial refund where appropriate.

      Please do not send anything back unless we have agreed this with you in writing first.

      For full details, please see our Refunds & Returns Policy.
