About Creeping Jenny
Creeping Jenny’s delicate chartreuse leaves and bright yellow flowers make her a striking trailing plant, but gardeners beware: left to her own devices outside of containers in the garden, Creeping Jenny will… well… “creep,” and can be very invasive.
She makes a great groundcover if her presence is welcome, but because of her low-maintenance and dense growth habit, she can choke out weeds and more desirable plants alike!
Creeping Jenny makes a great container plant, where her overzealous growth can be kept in check and her trailing vines can spill over in a dramatic cascade of color.
This tough little beauty makes a lush and bright statement wherever she grows!
