Looks like a not very happy Houttuynia. But I suggest that, as the OP
seems to know the original supplier, he takes it back and asks him/her
what it is.


The supplier was one of my neighbours, and she thought it was an ivy.

PS, I'd love to know the correct pronunciation of Houttuynia!


From my Dictionary of Plant Names it's... Hoo-tie-nee-a ... after Martin
Houttuyn a Dutch Naturalist.
