Creeping Jenny
Creeping Jenny is a charming, low-growing groundcover with delicate round leaves and bright yellow flowers that cascade beautifully over edges and between pavers. This vigorous spreader thrives in moist to wet conditions and brings cheerful color to shaded or partially shaded areas where many plants struggle.
Hardy in USDA Zones 4 to 8, Creeping Jenny grows just 2 to 4 inches tall but spreads readily to form dense mats of foliage. Its coin-shaped leaves turn bronze-tinged in cooler weather, adding seasonal interest. Small star-like yellow flowers appear throughout summer, attracting pollinators and creating a soft, naturalistic effect.
Perfect for rain gardens, pond edges, container plantings, and moist borders, Creeping Jenny adapts well to wet soils and even tolerates occasional standing water. Plant it in full sun to part shade for best flowering and foliage color. Keep soil consistently moist and divide clumps as needed to manage spread. Minimal maintenance makes it an ideal choice for gardeners seeking reliable, low-growing color in damp garden spaces.
