I bought a Creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia)
at my local water garden store today. I've done a
fair amount of search online (web sites, newsgroups)
and it seems this plant should be planted outside
the pond in damp soil/bog area.

Problem is everything outside my pond is dry
with no real way of keeping soil wet other than
watering it daily, which I won't do.

If I can plant the Creeping Jenny inside the pond,
on the sloping beach (where I want to plant it),
the most stable place puts the rim of the container
about 2" below the water surface.

Water can potentially be 4" higher than that, but
seldom gets more than 2" lower, i.e., the
Creeping Jenny container should at minimum
have its feet in the water, but at maximum could
be 6" under water.

Will that do or am I going to have a rotted
plant?

Thanks for any help -
