Lysimachia nummularia Aurea
Perennial ground-cover.
Prefers consistently moist soil with partial shade exposure, but can grow in sun or shade. Very low growing, maturing at only a few inches in height -- but with a spreading habit that can cover a surprising amount of ground.
Bright chartruese, rounded leaves provide exciting contrast with darker foliage plants.
Fragrant yellow flowers in summer.
*Deer Resistant*
