I will be a 'wet blanket' here, I dont like any plant invading another, I would have it out.
I've been trying to get some creeping jenny from my 4 local garden centres, can't get it. I love it for hanging baskets.
to me , creeping Jenny is a weed. I hate its invasive nature, sorry.
Tetley, I would consider Creeping Jenny to be a REAL thug! It doesn't know when or where to stop, plus which it doesn't disappear in winter, just turns into an unpleasant brown carpet. And every single broken off bit will grow if you let it.
On the other hand, it is very useful in hanging baskets, as GillianBC says.
Thanks folks
