   • Bishop's Weed/Goutweed. There’s no denying that the variegated form of Bishop’s Weed is an attractive plant. It even grows well in shady sites, where you need splotches of white to brighten things up.
   • Bugleweed. Bugleweed has pretty purple flowers and grows from ground-hugging rosettes. One individual plant looks harmless and charming, but it will spread by runners and quickly form a dense mat.
   • Chameleon Plant. It’s hard for a new gardener, and many experienced gardeners who should know better, to resist this plant. Although the flowers are hardly noticeable, it’s leaves are an eye-catching mix of red, cream, and green.
   • Evening Primrose. There are several very attractive flowers in the evening primrose genus. Sundrop (Oenothera biennis L.). has yellow flowers that only open during the day.
