Design with this plant

Overview

Variegated Bishop's Weed (Aegopodium podagraria 'Variegatum') is a vigorous groundcover with striking, creamy-white edged foliage. Thriving in USDA zones 3-9, it spreads widely, reaching heights of 8-12 inches. Best suited for partial to full shade, it requires well-drained soil. Ideal for low-maintenance areas, though considered invasive in some regions. Manage by edging or container planting to prevent unwanted spread. Monthly checks are recommended for encroachment control.
