Lysimachia nummularia, commonly known as Creeping Jenny, is a low maintenance and adaptable plant native to Europe and Asia and is a popular choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists.

The round, penny-sized leaves are a bright green colouration and grow in opposite pairs along the stem. This plant grows moderately fast, making it an excellent choice for those looking to fill out their aquascape quickly.

One of the benefits of Creeping Jenny is its tolerance for very cool water temperatures (down to 4°C), which makes it an excellent choice for coldwater tanks or outdoor ponds. It is also a very hardy plant and can tolerate a wide range of water parameters.

In planted aquariums, the stems of Lysimachia nummularia grow mostly upright with minimal branching. It can also be used in paludariums or along pond edges above the water where it will grow with a creeping habit. Creeping Jenny is also tolerant of low light conditions, but grows best with stronger light and CO2 supplementation. A great choice for aquarists looking for an easy-to-care-for plant that can add a lush green look to their tank.
