Part to full shade. Low-growing, creeping ground cover forms a dense leafy mat 2 to 4 inches tall.
Rounded, slightly ruffled, leaves will be yellow in full sun to lime green in shade. Bountiful, cup-shaped, bright yellow flowers emerge in early summer to fall.Rooting where leaf nodes come in contact with the soil, 'Aurea' is easily grown in average, medium to wet, well-drained soil.
