Houttuynia cordata, commonly known as fish mint, is a herbaceous perennial ground cover herb that thrives in a range of growing conditions. It prefers moist, well-drained soil and can tolerate partial to full shade. The leaves and stems have a distinct flavor, often used in salads, soups, and herbal dishes, particularly in Asian cuisine. Houttuynia cordata also has medicinal uses.

Regular watering is essential to maintain its lush greenery, and it can spread rapidly, so controlling its growth through regular pruning may be necessary to keep it in check.
