This easy-to-grow moisture lover is a marvelous, low-growing, golden groundcover whose dime-sized leaves give the ground a year-round golden color. Gold moneywort is perfect for brightening an area in the garden or interweaving to make some great color combinations. While Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' grows in shade, it needs a tiny bit of morning sun to maintain the golden color year round.
