Creeping Jenny, Lysimachia nummularia

creeping JennyThis plant thrives in damp situations in pastures and by the sides of streams, avoiding acid soils. It can grow in shallow water.

A tea is made from the leaves and flowers.

Creeping Jenny is a very good wound-herb, the fresh leaves being bruised and applied externally to the affected area.

An infusion is used to treat internal bleeding and diarrhoea.

The plant can be used as a ground cover plant in moist soils but requires weeding for the first year or so. Plants should be spaced about 60cm apart each way and form a carpet, rooting as they spread.
