Is there an ALTERNATIVE to Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia)??

Posted by growitnow (My Page) on

Hello all,

Is there a suitable alternative to Creeping Jenny? I have had it before, and later removed it. We recently put in a pond, and added some creeping jenny - great look but again I decided to remove it as a nuisance (a pretty one at that, though).

Any small "delicate" leaved trailing plant, tough as nails, but not invasive that could replace the "look" of Lysmachia?? Sun or very sun tolerant would be best for the sites I have in mind.

Thanks,

growitnow

Sure. Some of the small trailing sedums might fit the bill. Sun tolerant and extremely hardy. Ajuga can take a lot of sun if it has moisture.
