Goldilocks Creeping Jenny

Goldilocks is a low, trailing selection of creeping Jenny with shiny golden foliage. Proven Winners lists a 2–4 inch garden height, a 12–14 inch spread, and trailing stems that can reach 24 inches, making it useful at the edge of containers, hanging baskets, and groundcover plantings. ## Growing Conditions The [Goldilocks plant profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/lysimachia/goldilocks-creeping-jenny-lysimachia-nummularia) lists part sun to sun, average water, and hardiness zones 3–10. The golden foliage brightens a container or border edge; the species creeps by rooting stems, so allow it space or use a container to keep growth contained. The nursery lists the plant for both landscape and container use and notes that it needs no deadheading. NCSU Extension describes the species as preferring moist sites while tolerating some drying and notes its vigorous, rooting stems; check local guidance where creeping Jenny may spread beyond cultivation. ## Maintenance Keep the soil evenly moist while plants establish and during hot, dry weather. Cut back stems that extend beyond the intended area, and remove damaged foliage when tidying the planting.
