Snow-on-the-Mountain
Snow-on-the-mountain is an aggressive, fast-growing plant that is capable of forming a thick groundcover in part shade or full shade.
Although it produces small white flowers in flat umbels, its main ornamental feature is its variegated leaves. The leaves have medium green centers and creamy white margins.
If planted amongst other plants, its aggressive nature will outcompete other flowers and groundcovers. Plant it in an area where you don't mind it taking over and spreading. Can be effective for covering the ground under trees, if watered regularly.
