Chameleon Plant
It is an extremely hardy ground cover and easy to grow but can become very invasive. The Houttuynia ‘Chameleon Plant’, Houttuynia cordata, is one of the most popular ground covers around. Houttuynia requires light shade and needs a consistently moist soil in a well-drained area. Being similar in shape to English Ivy, it features boldly variegated leaves of red, pink, white, green, and yellow with a plant height of 15”. Small white flowers appear from July to August, but sometimes hard to see because of its foliage. They have a fresh, somewhat citrus-like scent when crushed. Use Houttuynia ‘Chameleons’ as a ground cover, in rock gardens, with water plants or in scented gardens. ... details
