Houttuynia cordata, commonly known as chameleon plant 'Boo Boo', is a low-growing, spreading perennial with heart-shaped green leaves edged with creamy-white margins and tinges of pink, forming dense mats. In summer, it produces small, inconspicuous greenish-yellow flowers, adding subtle texture rather than showy blooms.
This cultivar is valuable for ground cover in wet areas and can help stabilise pond edges. Its creeping, vigorous habit and tolerance of consistently moist soils make it ideal for pond margins, bog gardens, and naturalistic water features.
