You asked about Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea', or your grandmother may have called it ...
Creeping Jenny, Golden Creeping Jenny, Golden Creeping Charlie, Golden Creeping Sally, Golden Downhill-of-Life, Golden Herb Twopence, Golden Money Myrtle, Golden Money Plant, Golden Moneywort, Golden Twopenny Grass, or perhaps Golden Wandering Charlie?
Very vigorous, award-winning Lysimacha nummularia 'Aurea' is a low-growing evergreen perennial. Along the trailing stems, Creeping Jenny forms a mat of heart-shaped leaves. Foliage color may be lime green to soft chartreuse in shade, or a brassy gold in full sun. Water requirements are based on conditions. One inch, cup-shaped yellow flowers, bloom early to midsummer. Great hillside plant, edging plant near bog gardens, and very vigorous means it can be invasive.
