Creeping Jenny is a
very beautiful addition to the planted aquarium
with small rounded leaves. It develops
branches and roots from the leaf nodes and will
spread easily across your substrate. It
does have tender leaves and is treated as a
source of food by some fish. It will grow
well in medium or strong lighting and adds some
flexibility to your choice of position for
it. It tends to have a 'creeping' habit
growing a couple of inches tall but spreading
hence the name. It is also known as
Moneywort, Herb tuppence or tuppence grass.
It is also a well known
plant in gardens being a marginal or bog plant
as well as being capable of growing fully
submerged. It prefers cooler water being
a cold water plant rather than tropical but
will grow successfully in the temperatures that
are listed.
