Lysimachia japonica Minutissima Miniature Moneywort Super tiny green stems root at each node, enabling this plant to take hold almost anywhere. Very dense grower, slow to fill in, but worth the wait. Small star shaped yellow flowers cover in summer. Tolerates wet or dry conditions. Great lawn substitution plant and awesome between stepping stones.

Tips from Fran
Lysimachia minutissima is a tiny, durable creeper. It is more at home in well draining soil and would rather have gravel to roam around in than soil it can work in a woodland setting, but make sure your soil drains well or it will drown.
