Class summary: Evergreen, likes to be slight shaded, forms mat/ground cover, bigger and dense in shade. Woodland perennial. up to 50 different types (variation in spots, colour, etc) Small white flowers. Large leaf. Spreads by thin stolons. Red underneath leaf.

Site: Moist, organic rich soils, in shade. Zones 6-9. China origin. 1-2 feet tall and spreads. White flowers bloom May to June. Massing, streams, ponds, woodland garden.

Aesthetic notes: I think this would make a good ground cover. The leaves form a beautiful circular form with notable veins. The dark foliage along with the flicker of white flower could perform well in shaded, dim areas.
