Heart-Leaved Houttuynia (Houttuynia cordata “Chameleon”) V11 Pot

Description

Heart-Leaved Houttuynia (Houttuynia cordata “Chameleon”) V11 Pot from Farplants

Less vigorous than the species, ‘Chameleon’ makes excellent ground cover at the margins of a pond – or in reliably moist (and boggy) soils in the border.
Spreading to form a generous swathe, its ovate to heart-shaped leaves are variously patterned in shades of green, pale yellow and red.

These add a bright splash of colour, and if bruised will emit an orange-like aroma.
In spring, the flowerheads appear, and these are composed of a small, densely packed spike of tiny yellowish green flowers, which is encased at its base with a ruff of petal-like bracts that turn from green to white as they age.

Features:
Position: full sun or partial shade
Soil: reliably moist or boggy soil, or aquatic compost
Rate of growth: average to fast-growing
Flowering period: April
Hardiness: fully hardy
Pot size: v11 pot
