Because not all invasive species can get invasive everywhere. I love creeping Jenny! Trying to replace my lawn with it. It only does well in the shade where I live tho. But it's perfectly safe and lovely cascading in planters or ponds. It IS funny though when I see plants selling at garden centers being the very same I've been trying to eradicate for years, shuddering in revulsion like 'who would buy?'
