Description

This attractive groundcover is grown for its beautiful variegated foliage more than its flowers. It grows 8" tall and 3' wide. Not considered invasive. Leaves are evergreen in mild winter climates, somewhat heart-shaped with white and green colors. Clusters of tiny pink, white or yellow flowers cover the plant in spring. This plant prefers partial to full shade with well draining, moist, acidic soil. Keep roots cool by mulching.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
