Does anyone have experience planting chameleon plant in or around their pond?

RAH, I have no idea what that plant is. I've never heard of it.

RAH,
Are you wanting to use this as ground cover?
...when in doubt...set the hook...

I have some on the north side of the house and saw someone selling it as a marginal pond plant. I was wondering if it makes a good addition to the pond edges and whether it actually grows out into the water. It is shade tolerant, so it could fill a nice niche. I also worry about invasiveness.

I know, but I have many of such plants. It all depends on the habitat. That is why I am trying to see if anyone has experience with it. BG can be invasive too. I had some of this near a small earthen pond years ago, and it all but died out.

I do not eat plants without knowing that they have a history of safe consumption - more than a few folks not dropping over after eating a few leaves. This plant is reported to have pharmaceutical properties which should not be taken lightly.

pharmaceutical or hallucinatory?
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
