Shade Gardening: How invasive is Creeping Jenny (lysimachia)?, 1 by Noreaster

But what, in terms of color, habit, and height, is a suitable native replacement for Creeping Jenny? The three reasons I have it in a few spots in my garden is because the color and leaf shape contrasts beautifully with my other plants, it's a low, ground hugging mat, and I like how it looks when it trails over walls and down tall planters. Oh, and because it grows well in the shade. If there is list other things that would work in that situation, I'd love to hear it too.

I feel that I can control my Creeping Jenny pretty easily....perhaps because my garden is so small. I get what you're saying, Sempervirens, but I don't feel environmentally irresponsible for growing it. Why do they even sell invasive plants at garden centers, anyway?
