Chameleon plant
Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon'
A quick spreader in wet spots, chameleon plant can be dramatic. Its heart-shape leaves are rimmed with red and gaudily splashed with yellow and green. Dense spikes of tiny flowers are surrounded at the base by small white bracts. Be careful to corral this fast-growing, water-loving plant, as it can take over rapidly.
