Can You Grow Creeping Jenny Indoors? Overwintering and Outdoor Planting Tips

Not a Houseplant

Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia) needs full sun and a cold winter dormancy. Indoors, it becomes leggy, pale, and prone to pests. It's hardy to zone 4, so in your zone 7b garden it will thrive outside year-round.

Outdoor Success

• Plant in spring in well-drained soil, part shade to full sun.
• Space 12–18 inches apart; it will fill in quickly.
• Water regularly until established.
• Expect it to die back in winter and re-emerge in spring.

If you want a trailing indoor plant, consider Tradescantia zebrina or Plectranthus australis instead—they're much better adapted to indoor life.
