  • Description

  • Notes

Aegopodium podagraria 'Variegatum' is a perennial groundcover. The leafets are edged in white. This plant is great in areas where nothing else will grow, however, it can be invasive. It looks great in containers and is not particular about soil or watering. It is easy to care for and grows fast.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball just above ground level. 3. Mix soil with 25% amendment and %75 soil. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build basin and water.
