Useful as a groundcover, and easy to pull when it gets out of hand. I simply yank it back to the roots as I'm weeding without trying to dig it out. It soon rejuvenates itself and provides a nice yellow/green understory to the garden beds. I don't find it overly invasive in my Pacific Northwest Zone 8 garden, and often use it as a 'spiller' in containers.

Creeping Jenny is also a popular plant to use in planted freshwater aquariums. A fast growing stem plant, it helps with water quality in a planted tank. Also used in ripariums, Creeping Jenny can grow both submersed and immersed.
