It's Houttuynia cordata 'Chamaeleon' (aka 'Variegata'). The RHS Encyclopedia of Plants and Flowers has it as a water (marginal) plant, which would explain why I didn't find it in there - I found it growing in a stretch of gravel alongside a residential road. (I thought the name began with H, but all my memory was giving me was Hacquetia, and I'd already confirmed that it wasn't that.) -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Invasive it certainly is I am still trying to get rid of it ... :-( Jennifer Sounds a bit like Alchemilla mollis for some people. Others complain of it being invasive but in a previous garden, I was always wishing it would be! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com Shrubs & perennials. Tender & exotics. South Devon |

It works a treat and its glorious colour has been a joy all summer and here in Dorset still is. Bobbie -- http://thingamabobs.co.uk/imagesofcanfordheath5.html |

It also has numerous medical uses, though, personally, the smell makes me nauseous! |

PLEASE don't plant it in your garden!! You'll have it everywhere in
about 10 days flat It's really invasive so best in pots and even then don't let the runners come out from the bottom! Janet -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
