Glechoma Hederacea 'Variegata'

Nepeta Glechoma 'Variegata'

Glechoma hederacea (syn. Nepeta glechoma Benth., Nepeta hederacea (L.) Trevir.) is an aromatic, perennial, evergreen creeper. It thrives in moist shaded areas, but also tolerates sun very well. It spreads by stolons or by seed and can become invasive, even surviving mowing. It forms dense mats and blooms late spring to early summer. 'Variegata' is most often grown for its handsome foliage and is ideal for window-boxes or hanging baskets.
