Houttuynia cordata,
a perennial herb 15-50cm in height, grows in
semi-shady areas and forms colonies. The entire plant has a unique
aroma, and its leaves are cordate, measuring 3-8cm in length, with
tips that are shortly pointed. The stem's upper parts emerge as
1-3cm long racemes, each set with many small flowers; the pieces
that resemble petals are involucral bracts, four in number. Bloom
time: June-July.
