The Creeping Jenny is a low-growing, vibrant green plant known for its trailing habit and ability to thrive in both sun and shade.

Consider planting creeping Jenny in containers to better control this elegant, trailing plant, as it can easily become invasive if left unchecked. Creeping Jenny thrives in full sun to partial shade, with its foliage adapting based on light exposure. In full sun, the leaves turn a golden yellow, while in partial shade, they take on a chartreuse green hue. However, in hot climates, the intense afternoon sun may cause the leaves to blanch, making partial shade ideal for maintaining its vibrant appearance. Since creeping, Jenny needs moist, damp soil to thrive, water regularly, and don’t let the soil dry out.
