Description
A spectacular show of color! Depending on how much sunlight is available, the Chameleon plant changes color, hence the common name. In shady areas, the leaves will be variegated green and cream. With more sun, they will take on striking hues of yellow, pink, and scarlet red. In early summer, nickel-sized, white flowers appear sporadically. Houttuynia is a groundcover that is very easy to grow just about anywere. Its main requirement is consistant moisture, and it can even grow in shallow water. It is a vigorous grower, and care must be taken to prevent it from overrunning the garden. A root barrier is recommended or plants can be grown in deep, bottomless containers in ponds.

Houttuynia can be grown in any light conditions and moist to wet soil. It's not hard to grow this plant, but it is challenging to contain once it is established. Care should be taken to curb its invasive habits. This plant also breaks dormancy relatively late in the season, but its rapid growth more than makes up for this.
