In addition to being invasive and difficult to eradicate [which I achieved through persistence] I find the smell of Houttuynia to be nauseating. It has a citrus top note, but something unpleasant beneath. Since one need no more than walk past a clump of this plant to receive a noseful of odour, it is definitely on my 'no-fly' list.

Notoriously invasive and extremely difficult to remove once it has spread. Should NOT under any circumstances be planted in varied perennial beds.
