Looking for a perennial ground cover called " Chameleon" it has small medium sixe green and white leaves and the leaves are trim in red or has red in the leaves not sure? Does any one have any they would share with me? thank you ladystressout!

Chameleon plant, Houttuynia cordata, can be extremely invasive. Be careful what you ask for. I had some growing but let it die out with lack of water in my desert climate after a few years. For gardeners, it has too many negative qualities for most to grow. It has some wonderful medicinal qualities as a cancer inhibitive though.
Good luck!

it smells terrible

I didn't mind the smell so much. It was heavy with lemony overtones. But I also did not mess with it much.

My brother left some beside the garage when he moved out. As others say only get this if you truly want it. It is contained where it is here by a concrete block bed of sorts beside the building. I'll be glad to send you some if you really want it.

It is invasive also
