Flowering Months

Tolerant of dry soils or the wet margins of ponds, in sun or in shade – Houttuynia cordata 'Boo-boo' is a real survivor! Dark green, crinkled, heart shaped foliage with colourful yellow and red margins form dense, spreading clumps. The vibrant leaves of this hardy perennial make a superb backdrop for its white flower spikes from late spring onwards. In autumn, the aromatic foliage turns to fabulous shades of orange and red, adding a bright splash of late season colour to borders, bog gardens and shallow pond margins. Height: 40cm (16"). Spread: 100cm (39"). Planting depth: Zones 1 & 2 to 10cm (4") below water level.

Culinary note: The leaves have an orange like smell and make a marvellous flavouring in salads. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow

This hardy perennial is both moisture and drought tolerant, and thrives in almost any position from sun to dappled shade. Plant Houttuynia in any garden soil, or in the shallow margins of ponds with the crown to a depth of 10cm (4") below water level. In favourable conditions, Houttuynia will spread freely, but can be easily contained if planted in containers.

More Info

Feed and water Houttuynia plants regularly until fully established. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of Houttuynia in Spring to maintain plant vigour.
