Houttuynia cordata 'Flame'
Houttuynia 'Flame' is a bold and colourful perennial, prized for its striking, heart-shaped foliage in fiery shades of red, orange, yellow, and green. The variegated leaves intensify in colour when grown in full sun, creating a vibrant contrast in damp borders or around water features. In summer, the display is lifted further by small white flowers that add a delicate seasonal touch.
With its vigorous, spreading growth, ‘Flame’ provides excellent ground cover and is well-suited to boggy areas, pond edges, or large containers. While hardy and low maintenance, its fast growth may need to be managed or contained in certain settings. Its foliage also releases a distinctive scent when handled, adding another layer of interest to this unique plant.
