Notes
'Variegatum' bishop's weed (Aegopodium podagraria 'Variegatum') is a perennial for ground cover, shade gardens, and naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast, spreads by creeping, and tolerates drought, so give it room. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Blooms appear in spring and again in summer.
Pairs well with Sedge, Ostrich fern, and Bottlebrush buckeye.
