Actually, Marge, I think that's the one I bought in gallon pots and planted
a half dozen or so...no luck! Right now, I'm going with the pennyroyal. I
bought a small pot of it a couple of years ago, and it looked like it really
wanted to spread out. So, I figured bounded by the house and the driveway,
it could just go to town. It's not particularly attractive (my husband
thought it was a weed, and wanted to spray it with Roundup) but it's green!
I planted pachysandra under some trees last year, and decided if it got well
established in a couple of seasons, I'd try transplanting some to my problem
spot.
Although, I am happy with the hosta and fern effect; just have to water
every day in this weather!
Sounds like the "creeping jenny" wants a little more sun than I have here,
but I may keep it in mind for the area where I'm hoping to install a water
garden this fall.
