return to Perennials
Aegopodium (Bishop's weed, Goutweed)
Genus of about 5 species of perennials, with invasive rhizomes, occurring in woodland in N. and C. Europe, Siberia, and W. Asia. The alternate, deep green leaves have 3 ovate leaflets, and the many-rayed umbels of white flowers are borne on branching, hairless stems. Very invasive; plant either in containers or as a groundcover in poor soil in a shady site, where little else flourishes and where they cannot spread into other plants.
CULTIVATION: Grow in any soil in full or partial shade. De-head before flowers set seeds.
PROPAGATION: Separate rhizomes in autumn or spring.
PESTS AND DISEASES: Leaf blight may brown foliage off in summer.
A. podagraria 'Variegatum' Snow on the Mountain
Ground covering perennial with green leaves, margined and splashed creamy white. Excellent for use in difficult spots where nothing else can survive. Mow back if foliage starts to look ragged. Can survive very cold winters with annual averages as low as -30° Fahrenheit.
