Creeping Charlie ‘Variegata’ (Glechoma hederacea ‘Variegata’)

Creeping Charlie ‘Variegata’ (Glechoma hederacea ‘Variegata’) is a low-growing, trailing perennial valued for its soft, scalloped leaves edged in creamy white. This variegated form adds texture and contrast to containers, hanging baskets, and shaded garden areas.

This plant spreads easily by creeping stems, forming a dense mat of foliage that works well as a groundcover or spiller in mixed containers. Its trailing habit allows it to cascade over edges, making it especially useful in window boxes and shaded planters.

In Alberta, Creeping Charlie is typically grown as a seasonal outdoor plant or used in containers, as it may not be reliably hardy in exposed conditions in Lethbridge. It performs best in cooler conditions and shaded environments, offering consistent foliage interest throughout the growing season.
