Golden Lloydiella-Golden Creeping Jenny [Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea']

Description:

Golden Lloydiella is a vibrant, hardy plant admired for its brilliant golden-green foliage and versatile growth habit. It thrives in moderate to high lighting, making it an excellent choice for both aquariums and outdoor water gardens. In aquariums, it grows upright as a mid-to-background stem plant, adding a pop of color that contrasts beautifully with darker greens. Outdoors or in paludariums, it functions as a cascading “spiller” plant, spreading horizontally across surfaces and edges with lush, golden leaves.
