Fish mint (Houttuynia cordata) is a perennial plant native to Southeast Asia, China, Korea and Japan. It has many names such as Bishop’s Weed, Chinese Lizard Tail, Fish Wort, Fish Leaf, Rainbow Plant and Chameleon Plant. Despite being called “fish mint”, it’s not a member of the mint family. It does, however, spread aggressively like mint.
As its name suggests, the leaves have a slightly fishy smell. The flavor is less fishy with a slight tang. The leaves are used in Asian cooking fresh as a garnish, in salads, and in fresh spring rolls. They are also cooked with other vegetables and with fish.
Fish mint thrives in wet locations and can even grow partially submerged in water. It will grow fine in your garden as long as you keep it well-watered. It does well in either full sun or partial shade. The plants grow to 2 to 3 feet in height with a spread of 3 feet. Small white flowers appear in early summer.
I have found this plant to be extremely invasive. It aggressively spreads by underground rhizomes so it is nearly impossible to predict where it will pop up next. It should be grown surrounded by some kind of barrier like a wall or a sidewalk or in a container.
Propagation is easy. Just make a cutting, dip it in rooting hormone and then plant it in a growing medium. Cutttings root easily.

Our Mission:
Our primary mission when creating USA Garden Shop was so everyone can enjoy organic and pesticide free herbs and plants. In today fast-moving world, fruits and herb is chock-full of pesticide and chemicals. The herbs we love to use in our kitchen are not once how they used to be. We at USA Garden Shop want to promoted growing organic herbs and plants that can be used year round.
Our family like many families here in the United States, are immigrant. When we first got to USA everything was so different and it was very hard to find the herbs that we are accustom to using in Vietnam. Therefore, we started our own little garden with the hope that we can share our wonderful and healthy herbs with everyone.
