green-An evergreen groundcover plant with green-white striped leaves. It can be very invasive, spreading by rhizomes. It can be very difficult to eradicate once established. Its foliage makes this a good container plant while controlling the spread of unwanted growth. This plant can be kept at a shorter height by cutting the foliage to ground level in the spring, prior to the plant sending up new shoots. This procedure will also assist the plant in looking its best, as cutting to the ground will encourage new and healthy growth to emerge.
