FAQs
Is Lysimachia Creeping Jenny deer resistant?
While not completely deer-proof, it is generally less attractive to deer than many other flowering perennials.
Can this plant survive winter?
Yes, it is a hardy perennial that will survive through winter in most temperate zones, often returning with fresh growth in the spring.
How many plants are in the pack?
This product comes as a 6-pack of individual plants.
Will it grow in full shade?
It performs best in sun or partial shade; in very deep, full shade, the foliage color may turn more lime-green and the plant will grow less vigorously.
Is this plant toxic to pets?
Lysimachia nummularia is generally considered non-toxic, but it is always best to prevent pets from consuming large amounts of garden plants.
Does it need fertilizer?
It typically does not require heavy fertilization, but a general-purpose balanced garden feed in the spring can encourage more robust growth.
Troubleshooting
Foliage turning brown or crispy
The soil has likely dried out too much. Increase watering frequency and ensure the plant is in a location that retains moisture.
Plant growth is slowing down
Ensure the plant is receiving at least partial sunlight; deep shade can inhibit its vigorous growth and flowering.
Spreading into areas where it isn't wanted
Use a sharp spade to edge the area or simply trim back the runners manually to maintain defined boundaries.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Fast-growing and covers large areas quickly
- Excellent for moisture-prone garden beds
- Very low maintenance once established
- Beautiful year-after-year color
- Effective natural weed control
Cons
- Can be invasive if not monitored
- Requires consistently moist soil to look its best
- May look sparse if allowed to dry out completely
Setup, Compatibility & Care
When planting your pack of six, space each plant approximately 12 to 18 inches apart if you want to create a solid mat over time. Prepare the soil by removing debris and ensuring it is well-draining yet capable of holding moisture.
- Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball.
- Place the plant at the same depth it was in the nursery pot.
- Backfill with soil and water thoroughly.
Care is minimal: ensure the soil does not dry out completely during the first season of growth. Once established, the plant is quite hardy. If the growth becomes too aggressive or encroaches on walking paths, simply trim the trailing stems back with garden shears; the plant handles pruning very well and will quickly produce new growth.
