Variegated Ground Elder (Aegopodium Podagraria 'Variegatum') Herb in 1Litre pot
Variegated Ground Elder also known as goutweed and snow on the hill, is much less invasive than its cousin Ground Elder, this is striking plant will produce beautiful variegated leaves in even the shadiest parts of your garden, great for ground cover in a shaded spot. This plant has strong smelling long-stalked leaves with tiny white flowers, it is a good choice if you have an area where nothing else seems to succeed but site carefully, this is difficult to eradicate once established, so don't let this loose in the border. It is great in a container for a shady spot, or dry shade where its growth will be slowed. The flower stems may be removed to keep the patch looking tidy, as well as to prevent self seeding to help control the plant.
Herb Usage
Ground Elder has a long history of medicinal use and was cultivated as a food crop and medicinal herb in the Middle Ages. The plant was used mainly as a food that could counteract gout. The plant is little used in modern herbal medicine. Leaves have a distinctive flavour, not to everyone's taste, and can be added to salads and soup when young. This Variegated Ground Elder is grown primarily for its striking leaves to be used only as an ornamental ground cover plant.
