Understanding Plant Options

Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:

Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age

A Groundcover That Is Just Right!

Do you have a spot in your garden that could use a good groundcover, but is a little too wet, or a little too sunny? We think you'll find that Goldilocks is just right!

Goldilocks Moneywort (also known as Goldilocks Creeping Jenny - Lysimachia nummularia) is a tough-as-nails plant that will easily fill a bare spot in a single season.

Goldilocks makes a great groundcover in places where it can be left alone to naturalize and spread. It excels on banks, in woodland gardens and along paths, especially in moist areas near streams, water gardens, pools or ponds. It is picture-perfect spilling over stone walls and adds stunning interest to hanging baskets.

Goldilocks isn't your typical green, but a lovely yellow-gold (especially in full sun) that really pops against other foliage. Try it around landscape rocks or garden containers to soften hard edges. It also makes a soft path substitute. It takes light foot traffic very well. It might be a little too aggressive for front-of-the-border spots next to lawns, but otherwise it will meet all of your expectations. Order yours today!
