This foot-wide spreading groundcovery clump of foliage is an edible herb,

The woman I got it from said it's "variegated cress" but I can't find a
garden cress species with such ornate serated leaves. It has an almost
peppery taste.

Well, there IS a variegated cress -- Barbarea vulgaris 'Variegata', commonly
known as Winter Cress or Yellow Rocket. I was looking at some photos on the
'net and they all showed the leaves fringed by a white/pale color.

That one's leaves are not serrated, & the variegation on my plant are red
& purple, not cream. I don't actually think it's even a cress & was
reluctant to mention what I was told in very broken english about it. I'm
still hoping its identity will be obvious to someone!
