Creeping Jenny (also known as moneywort) is a low-growing, rampant, evergreen ground cover with rounded leaves. In summer, it produces many cup-shaped, bright yellow flowers.
Noteworthy CharacteristicsThis creeper can withstand damper soils than many other types of ground covers and can tolerate limited foot traffic.
CareGrow in a moist but well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. Soil should not dry out in summer. Grow in full sun or partial shade, but color is best in full sun.
Propagation Sow seed in containers outdoors in spring. Divide in spring or autumn.
Problems Rust and leaf spot are possible, but generally no serious disease or insect problems. Can be invasive.
