    Hello all,
    I am hoping someone can assist me. I have creeping jenny in a difficult corner and it is making it`s way-with my blessing toward a soon to be completed wildlife pond. My sister likes it but as it is invasive I have advised her to put it in a hanging basket.

    The query is, would pulling out some of the runners and shoving them in a hanging basket now be ok-or will they die over winter because of the cold? Otherwise I can keep it for her over winter and give it her in the spring next yr.

    Lollipop as Dee says there's nothing to loose I mean you could always dig some more up next year if things don't work out too well this year because 'Jenny' isn't a shy lass and is never slow coming forward!:D Hel.xxx.

    :thumb: I have creeping Jenny... It will grow just about anywhere anytime...!!!!!!:help::lollol: It is invasive but very easy to just pull it out or chop off.. Excellent to cover those odd corners etc, but I do keep most of mine in pots to stop it getting everywhere.... Have fun with it..!:wink::D
