I am in NC, we are getting that snow storm now! We probably have a similar climate. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't freeze solid in the mail! If you send a bubble mailer, with an address label and at least double what it costs to mail it to me in postage. I will return any surplus postage to you. I will dig down into the leaves and find some nice rooted pieces, they are pretty tough. Just press them into some soil when you get them and they should start growing right away. If they don't I will send MORE!!! I have so much of this plant it is taking over my yard! Let me know. My email works. Frances

Thanks to everyone for their comments, the encouragement, and for the compliment! :-) Yeah I've had creeping jenny for several years, and I know how fast it grows. I just wasn't sure if it had been killed past the point of it recovering, without me having to re-establish it with plugs. Would prefer not to have to do that. Y'know, at what point does a plant become so defoliated that it cannot recover --- I know it varies for each plant, and creeping jenny being so robust is probably pretty tough. I was just hoping that a) it would come back, and b) it would come back fast, without me having to wait the whole season. I'd be happy to send sawflies your way... :-) All I do to control my creeping jenny is to hand-pull it from around the bases of the plants in spring, and then when I mow along where the grass meets the bed, it gets a lot of it. If it starts going into the grass too far I just spray a little Round Up between the bed and the lawn, and that will keep it contained all season. I don't mind doing that too much because when it's established it chokes out the weeds pretty well, and I don't have to mulch the bed every year. We have had a lot of rain in the last day or two, and it seems to be responding to that. I'm seeing new growths at the ends, but not as much along the stems yet. But at least now there is new growth, which means they aren't going to just keel over. For all its aggressiveness, creeping jenny does make a nice background in a bed. My neighbors all ooh and ahh over how great the bed looks. Haven't heard much of that lately, so I'm guessing it's because the creeping jenny isn't looking so great. Thanks again!

Yes, I'm sure. I know it's slightly invasive in the ground but I want it for the pond. It grows great in a pond and a lighted aquarium just bare root with a rock to hold it in place and the fish don't eat it. Creeping buttercup is a monster! I made that mistake a few years ago too! I like creeping Jenny though. I don't think it's quite as bad as creeping buttercup or chocolate mint. I love choc mint but keep it in a pot now. Nearly lost my entire herb garden under it one spring. Crazy fast growth! Most of the creeping Jenny I grow in the ground eventually gets pulled up and put in the pond or into an aquarium in the fall. I actually bought some last year when I put the new pond in here. The fish eat everything else green in the water.

What do you have for trade? Susan
