Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon', commonly known as the Chameleon Plant, is a colourful marginal pond plant prized for its striking red, yellow, green, and cream variegated foliage.
This eye catching perennial brings season long colour to pond margins, bog gardens, and damp borders. During summer it may also produce small white flowers, although it is primarily grown for its vibrant foliage.
Hardy and easy to grow, Houttuynia 'Chameleon' thrives in shallow water and moist soil, making it an excellent choice for adding contrast and texture to pond planting schemes.
