Chameleons


The chameleon is a kind of ground cover that is aptly named.  It has a variety of colors and tends to change over a period of time.  It has a rather translucent stem and dies back in the winter.  It comes back from the roots and has a tendency to spread if it has sufficient water.

This is a true example of a passalong plant.  Sheila up-the-street gave it to me.  Her mother got it from some one in Charlotte and gave it to her.  I don't recall ever seeing it in a garden shop.

Notice how the vine in front has changed from its bright colors to plain greeen.  This often happens.
