    Creeping Jenny does need regular watering and mulching can help with moisture retention and weed control.
    I would not fertilize now, wait until spring.

    Here is a link with more growing information.

    The color is most likely due to the cultivator that you have of Creeping Jenny.
    The variety Aurea has yellow leaves. Many times a grower uses a general tag that has the 'Creeping Jenny' name.
    Here is a link to refresh you on the care requirements.

    Yes, I would remove the landscape cloth and allow the Creeping Jenny to fill in the area.
    I recently planted an area in my garden with Creeping Jenny and love the coverage, color and effect in my garden.

    Creeping Jenny is extremely difficult to remove once it is established.

    Pulling the plants along with herbicide application. In the lawn you can use 2, 4D to treat the weed.
    In a flower bed you should use a herbicide that contains glyphosate or trifluralin.
    Use these herbicides carefully and according to all package application directions.

    If the same symptom is appearing in both plants, it is unlikely to be sunburn.

    If the browning is just at the tips or around the edges of the leaves, see this article:

    Brown circular spots or brown fuzzy growth on the leaves is likely a fungal or bacterial disease. If none of these fit, and the whole leaves are turning brown and crispy, it could be lack of water or simply that the plants need pruning to remove old sections.

    In the early spring you can use a pre emergent, but this is only a small time frame in the spring. If you use a post emergent or weed and feed this would likely kill the Creeping Jenny.
