Comments on this photo
I pulled out yards of this earlier this month. Still, it kept down the weeds from next door.

I have a vinca...remember...the White one...and its flowering!! So not everything in my garden is way behind...

I have my variegated Vinca under my Red Camellia, just chop bits off to keep it in check.

It does take root where ever it touches ,I pot my rooted ones up and then use them in summer pots where you need something hanging down ...

Amy - I do a similar thing with the golden form of creeping jenny. I wouldn't dare let it loose in the garden!

I must remember to put Creeping Jenny on my ' Wanted ' list Andrew :o)

The best way to get hold of it is to find a friend nearby who has it. He/she is bound to have a rooted piece to pass on.

Pretty leaf Dd:-)
I do that too Amy :-)
Omg know just what you mean Andrew I've been pulling creeping Jenny up by the barrow full it had even grown into our pond and was happily growing under the water!!, I do find it handy for growing on a steep slope we have though round the base of shrubs it stops the weeds in a spot that's tricky to weed.

I do keep all the Vinca clipped back to keep it in check, we have a job to grow creeping Jenny have lost at least two!!
Amy thats a good idea to use in pots......

Lol that's true Andrew I have quite a few of them in my garden Saponaria being another, I've got to dig a whole border up to get that out, thing is I know now where I should have planted it ,in a wild area of the garden where it can do what it likes!!I suppose the names give then away Creeping Jenny, Bouncing Bet such pretty names!!! Aaaaaargh
