Lysimachia procumbens: Golden Globe – A Creeping Golden Ground Cover

Lysimachia procumbens – Golden Globe

Lysimachia procumbens, known as Golden Globe, is a low, creeping perennial that forms a spreading mat of small, rounded, golden-green leaves. In summer, it produces solitary, bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers that sparkle against the foliage. Its trailing habit makes it excellent for spilling over walls, edging paths, or weaving through a rock garden. It can also serve as a colorful "spiller" in mixed containers.

Golden Globe thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It spreads moderately by rooting stems, so give it room to roam or site it where its spread is welcome. It is a cheerful, easy-care plant that brightens dull corners with its luminous foliage and sunny blooms. In colder zones, it may die back but returns reliably in spring.
