Lysimachia congestiflora, commonly known as Golden Globes Loosestrife or Creeping Jenny, is a perennial herb that is native to stream banks and damp forests in the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It typically grows 4-8 inches tall and features creeping stems that can root at the nodes, forming dense mats. The plant is adorned with bright yellow, cup-shaped flowers with a contrasting red eye, which bloom profusely from late spring to early summer, adding a splash of color to garden settings.

Golden Globes Loosestrife is valued for its vibrant flowers and its ability to form a dense ground cover, which can suppress weeds. It is often used in border fronts, rock gardens, and along ponds or streams where its moisture requirements can be naturally met. While it prefers moist, well-drained soils, it is adaptable to a range of soil conditions and can tolerate partial shade, though it flowers best in full sun. It is also used in hanging baskets and containers for its trailing habit. However, gardeners should be cautious as it can spread aggressively, potentially outcompeting native plants.CC BY-SA 4.0
