Moneywort or creeping Jenny is a low-growing, creeping ground cover which forms a leafy mat only 2-4″ tall. Roots where leaf nodes come in contact with the soil. Thrives in damp soils which will often kill off other types of ground covers.Creeping Jenny is a reliable perennial that in Zone 8 grows best in afternoon shade locations. The leaves are light green; We use Creeping Jenny as a goundcover or a filler around stepping stones in shady locations. The bright foliage works nicely to lighten up shady areas. It looks especially nice around the rocks and boulders of a garden pond. ‘Aurea’ has yellow to gold foliage. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
Easily grown in average, medium to wet, well-drained soil in full sun to shade. Best yellow color in full sun. Foliage is lime green in shade. Prefers moist soils. Intolerant of dry soils. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
