    Hi,
    i just moved and the gardens were over grown here and as i took out the weeds i came across this plant that had been planted in the ground still in its pot i guess to contain it but it seems to have escaped . it seems to be doing well but as i have no idea how fast its spread etc i need to know what it is to decide if and how to remove it.

    Any help appreciated

    Many thanks

    Might be a variegated chameleon plant, Houttuynia cordata.
    If so, as for getting rid of it...good luck!
