Houttuynia cordata Thunberg
In garden at the Paul W. Schwalbe home, 203 Breezy
Point Drive, Pardeeville 53954. The collector says it
came in as an accidental contaminant with some other
ornamental they’d bought at a nursery; the collector
mailed me live specimens. This collection is therefore
from cultivation, and the plant cannot yet be considered
an established weed. The USDA website shows it only
for Pennsylvania and Louisiana. There are some garden
chat sites that bewail how the plant spreads, once
established.
