Grow your own Houttuynia cordata Fish Mint — one of Asia's most distinctive and widely recognised evergreen garden plants celebrated for its beautiful broadly heart-shaped leaves and attractive spreading ground-cover habit. This versatile perennial produces attractive heart-shaped foliage in rich green with characteristic purple undersides, and charming small white-bracted flower spikes in summer. Young leaves widely used as fresh culinary garnish in Asian cuisine. Ideal for container growing, shaded garden borders, water garden edges, and ground cover planting. Best grown in containers to control vigorous spreading.
