Filter plants starting to grow - any new ones to recommend?
I have never heard of the penny creeper. I will look on Google to see
if I can find it. Does it have another name? Jim |

Jim ========================= I looked it up. It's called "Water Pennywort," family Apiaceae (Umbellifeae) - the parsley or carrot family and is from Brazil. They may be from Brazil but they live over through the coldest winters. If they get a chance they'll also invade the earth around the pond. The koi and goldfish will not eat them. -- RM....

The name sure could have been changed around: http://preview.tinyurl.com/yqv9vz Creeping Jenny does well in flower beds or wet areas. I use it in my floating islands. I believe Kathy used it in her center island. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

I have had some that got so big they were almost like miniature water lilies, 3"? Creeping Jenny is another good one, except I think it just likes it's 'feet wet'. Bill |

right, wet feet. http://weloveteaching.com/mypond/changes/changes2.htm
nummularia is the name and its draping form is seen in the bottom pictures. Ingrid Creeping Jenny is another good one, except I think it just likes it's 'feet wet'. Bill |
