Houttuynia cordata Chameleon Plant

A plant that refuses to blend in, Houttuynia cordata ‘Chameleon’ is a bold, unstoppable groundcover with vibrant, multi-colored foliage splashed in red, yellow, and green. As if the leaves weren’t dramatic enough, summer brings delicate white flowers, standing out against the chaos of color. Fast-spreading and practically indestructible, this plant thrives in moist soil, full sun to shade, and even the toughest problem areas. Use it where nothing else will grow, but beware—it doesn’t just settle in, it takes over, you’ve been warned.
