Orange Peel Plant

Houttuynia cordata 'Plena'


It has white flowers, made of numerous bracts, which are prolific from May to September. The leaves, as with other houttuynias, have an attractive orange peel scent, hence it's common name.

This plant will die back to its basket for winter, and begin growing again in the spring. Trim off brown stems/leaves in the autumn to tidy it up.

The recommended depth in water is calculated as the distance between the top of the basket and the water surface. Therefore "0" would be the basket rim at the water surface.

This plant is supplied in a standard plastic plant pot. It will benefit from being repotted into a mesh basket. See our range here.
