    Can you use a wandering jew for a cover plant?

    in warmer areas, yes, the wandering jews are used as ground covers. in your area, they won't survive the winter, so you'd need to replant each year if you want to use it.

    What are you covering with it? A word of caution - it can be extremely invasive.

    flaxe, in indiana it wouldn't become invasive as it wouldn't live through the winter. the summer isn't long enough for it to become a problem.

    zones 8 and higher need to watch for invasiveness - maybe zone 7 and up...

    Thanks for elaborating. However if you've read my posts in the past I don't only post for the thread starter's sake but for others reading (wherever they are).
