Variegated Goutweed is a perennial ground cover. The leaflets are edged white. Set plants 1' apart. The leaflets may get scorched if in full sun but can be sheared off if burned. This plant is used for its foliage, not for its flowers. It is beautiful in shaded areas. This plant is fast growing and can be invasive.

Planting: 1. Dig a hole 1" less the depth and 2 times the width of the container. 2. Fill hole with water, let soak. 3. Set root ball in hole. 4. Fill hole halfway with native soil and water. 5. Finish back filling hole, build basin and water.
