If you can't beat them...

Houttuynia cordata

At the moment we are getting a number of short stay visitors at the Lodge.  One left today with another group arriving tomorrow.  So today was prepping the Lodge, again.  Today I  had a walk to the bins.  The first time for a few weeks.

Passing our neighbouring Lodge I noticed the Houttuynia and thought its a while since I did any colour popping.

I am sure Houttuynia has a common name its just I don't know it.  It grows well in the UK for a plant native to South-east Asia.  It is said to like moist shady locations, but any we have grown loses the red if in shade.  This one is growing on a south facing bank.
