Care and Watering
The Chameleon plant loves moist, well-drained soil and partial shade. Keep soil evenly moist, not waterlogged; water more in hot weather and mulch to conserve moisture.

Prune after flowering to keep the clump tidy and prevent overgrowth. Divide every 2–3 years to refresh vigor and maintain a clean border.

Plant in beds, borders or containers where its colorful foliage can shine in shade or dappled sun. It tolerates sun if kept consistently moist.
Tips
Use as groundcover or spiller, wear gloves (it can spread aggressively), and feed lightly in spring for best color and vigor.
