Variegated Bishop's Weed is a fast-growing ground cover plant compound leaves with attractive cream margins. In the summer, it produces small, white flowers, although the foliage is usually the main attraction for this plant. It prefers part shade to full shade and is adaptable to a variety of soil conditions, but it thrives best in well-drained, moist soils.
While the variegated form is less aggressive, it's important to note that it can revert to the species all green and regain its aggressive qualities. Remove any reverted plants to control spread.
