If you take care with your creeping Jenny, you can overcome the plant's bad reputation. It really is a lovely ornamental. The main problem most people have with creeping Jenny is that it spreads. If you plant it in the garden, it can quickly take over a spot if it's not kept under control. However, if your soil is on the drier side, that will impede some of its growth.
Use creeping Jenny as a spiller plant in pots and hanging baskets. Pair it with taller plants that it won't smother rather than small low-growers. When designing your containers, creeping Jenny's foliage colors will contrast well with dark green foliage and brightly colored flowers.
Creeping Jenny will thrive best in full sun to partial shade. Prefers moist, well-draining soils and can even be found along riverbanks where the soil is very wet. Since moist, damp soil is what your creeping Jenny needs to thrive, water regularly and don't let the soil dry out.
