Glechoma Hederacea Variegated, Ground Ivy Variegated, also known as variegated ground ivy or variegated creeping charlie, is a popular and fast-growing perennial known for its attractive variegated leaves and low-maintenance nature. It is often used as a ground cover or as a “spiller” in containers and hanging baskets.

Here’s a guide to care Glechoma Hederacea Variegated, Ground Ivy Variegated :

Light

Partial shade to full sun. Variegated ground ivy grows in a range of light conditions.
The variegation (the creamy white edges on the leaves) is often more prominent in partial shade. In full sun, the plant can sometimes lose some of its variegation.

Water

Regular watering. This plant thrives in consistently moist, well-drained soil.
Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, especially when the plant is in a sunny location or during hot weather.
When used as a ground cover, mulching can help the soil retain moisture.

Soil

Average, well-drained soil. Variegated ground ivy is not particularly fussy about soil type.
It can tolerate a range of soil types, including normal, sandy, and clay, as long as the drainage is good.
It prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH.

Maintenance

Pruning is key. This plant is a vigorous, trailing perennial that can spread aggressively by rooting stems. Regular trimming of the runners is recommended to control its growth and maintain tidiness.
Pruning in early to late spring can promote air circulation and bushier growth.
If using it as a ground cover, you may need to mow or prune it back hard in the early spring.

Other Considerations

Invasive potential. While the variegated form is often considered less aggressive than the green wild type, it can still become invasive in certain climates and conditions. Be mindful of its spreading nature, especially if planting it directly in a garden bed. It is considered an invasive species in many parts of the United States.
Containers. It is an excellent choice for hanging baskets and containers where its trailing habit can be showcased without the risk of it taking over your garden.
Propagation. Glechoma hederacea ‘Variegata’ is easily propagated by division in the spring or autumn, or by taking softwood cuttings in late spring.
Toxicity. All parts of the plant are considered toxic to pets, particularly horses, dogs, and cats. Ingestion can cause symptoms like vomiting and lethargy.
Pests and diseases. It is generally disease-free, but may be susceptible to slugs and snails.
