Creeping Jenny

[Kurtkoinut]

I live in mid-Missouri. I never planted a single start of this stuff. Once fall began, I started seeing the creeping Jenny. It found it's way to my pond edge. It then grew right into the water.

I read up about the plant, and it seems to grow in, under, and around the water. It's doing a great job of that just in the last couple months.

Should I fear this plant?

Love that stuff when it stays near the pond but if it starts spreading out into the grass it gets clipped! If left to grow where it wants it will travel everywhere!

I just let it grow, but my yard is wilder than JW's I have the yellow and the green leafs. Love the little yellow flowers.

I really like it and it's pretty easy to control if you need to pull some out.

That stuff loves my bogs pond and dry land it grows like a weed and it's not all that easy to irradiate

Guess it all depends on your area weather, Mine grows good where it is growing, I have done nothing to control it, it had not really left the pond area. In fact some places I planted it is struggling to grow. I wish it would grow better!

It does grow great in the bog and in the stream.

Does it have yellow flowers or tiny white ones? If its the tiny white flower, its an invasive weed.
