Chameleon Plant
Houttuynia cordata 'Chameleon'
 
Vivid, fast-spreading, and uniquely colorful, Chameleon Plant is a bold groundcover that brings a splash of tropical flair to moist, shady areas. Its heart-shaped leaves are a striking mix of green, yellow, cream, and red—changing tones with the seasons for ever-shifting garden interest. In early summer, small white flowers appear above the foliage, adding a delicate contrast to its dramatic leaves.
 
‘Chameleon’ is a vigorous grower that thrives in damp soils, making it ideal for rain gardens, pond edges, or difficult wet spots. It also tolerates drier conditions once established and can be used to quickly cover large areas. Due to its vigorous spreading habit, it's best planted where it can be contained or used in controlled landscape settings.
 
Loved for its ornamental foliage and adaptability, Chameleon Plant brings color, texture, and bold energy to garden spaces where many plants struggle to thrive.
