FLOWER/PLANT OF THE WEEK: Creeping Jenny

​Creeping Jenny is the cutest plant to have. I use it in the ground as ground cover and love to use them in hanging baskets, since the plant hangs all over and looks amazing. What I love the most about Jenny is that “she” is an evergreen perennial that comes back in my garden every single year. 

I have some in the shade and others under the sun. It doesn’t require great care, in fact, I don't even remember ever fertilize or water these plants regularly. Yes, they will thrive if you do it but they will be alright without much care from you anyway. 

Location, location, location; when you bring Creeping Jenny home from the garden center, select where you want to plant them, in sunny or shaded areas. Either way, plant them about a foot or two apart because they grow fast and spread quickly. 

Enjoy Creeping Jenny in your gardens for years to come.
