Did you try anything new this year? I have 2 bought plants that I had never tried before, both ground covers and one started from seed.

Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia) is the first. I used it in a perennial (?) bed, but I've seen it in a mixed container, too. It will take up to daily watering here, but did okay with some neglect as well. I love the brighter, new growth next to the older, darker green and the round leaves. Part of what's really cool is that it appears to propagate *very* easily - I took a couple of cuttings and within days they had new growth. It established in early summer and has about doubled in size, to about the size of two fists.
