- Heart shaped multi coloured foliage
- Moisture and drought tolerant groundcover
- Features white summer flowers with citrus-scented leaves
This Houttuynia Cordata Chameleon is a vigorous perennial, boasting heart-shaped leaves splashed with green, gold, and red, providing unique colour and interest. Thriving in a range of conditions, from sunny spots to dappled shade, and tolerant of both moisture and drought, it's a versatile addition to any garden. When crushed, the foliage releases a distinctive pungent orange fragrance.
In mid-summer, expect a display of pure white flowers covering the spreading stems. Ideal as ground cover in borders or around pond margins, Houttuynia reaches a height of 30cm (12”) and spreads up to 100cm (39”). Plant in Zone 1 & 2 to a depth of 10cm (4”) below water level. The leaves are edible and make a marvellous flavouring in salads, releasing an orange-like smell.
Product Specifications:.

Supplied as: 1x Houttuynia Cordata Chameleon in a 9cm pot.
Plant Houttuynia in any garden soil or in the shallow margins of ponds, ensuring the crown is 10cm (4") below water level. While it spreads freely in favourable conditions, it's easily contained in pots. Regular feeding and watering are recommended until established. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps in Spring to maintain vigour.
Please note: Plant height and spread is seasonal, so we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The delivered plant's height and spread will vary depending on the season. Images are for guidance only and show expected results upon maturity; different growing conditions may lead to varied outcomes. Images may also illustrate supply but can vary due to seasonal changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
