Hardy, Resilient, and Perfect for Damp Areas.

Houttuynia is a hardy perennial that thrives in moist, well-drained soil, making it particularly suited to damp areas of the garden or beside ponds and streams. It’s adaptable to both sun and partial shade, though the colours are often most vivid in full sun. Known for its resilience, Houttuynia can spread quite vigorously, so it’s best planted in a contained area or alongside other strong-growing plants. Its ability to cover ground quickly makes it ideal for filling empty spaces, especially in challenging spots where other plants may struggle.

Hassle-Free and Habitat-Supporting.

Houttuynia requires minimal upkeep, making it an easy-care plant for gardeners who appreciate a low-maintenance garden. Occasional trimming helps keep its growth in check and encourages fresh foliage, while a mulch in spring can support new growth and enhance its colour. Additionally, Houttuynia’s foliage provides ground cover that shelters insects, adding a wildlife-friendly element to its beauty. For those seeking a plant that combines unique aesthetic appeal with ecological value, Houttuynia is a striking addition that brings both interest and practicality to the garden.

Houttuynia: A Bold Splash of Colour and Texture.

Houttuynia, often known as chameleon plant, is an eye-catching perennial that brings a unique blend of colour and texture to the garden. Its heart-shaped leaves are variegated with shades of green, red, yellow, and even a touch of cream, creating a striking display that changes with the seasons. In summer, Houttuynia produces small white flowers that add a delicate contrast to its vibrant foliage, though it’s the foliage itself that truly steals the show. For gardeners looking to introduce a plant with a bold presence, Houttuynia is a wonderful choice that brings colour and life to borders and beds.
