It is a perennial plant in the carrot family (Apiaceae) that grows in shady places. The name "ground elder" comes from the superficial similarity of its leaves and flowers to those of elder (Sambucus), which is unrelated. Has a variegated leaf that dies back in the winter. It is the type species of the genus Aegopodium. Full sun to shade.

Sedum ‘Lemon Ball’. This hardy stonecrop is very similar to ‘Angelina’ but with brighter chartreuse to lime green foliage and without the orange highlights in winter. The yellow spring flowers don’t show up well against the leaves, but it makes a great accent in mixed containers or border foregrounds. Drought tolerant. Hardy to zone 3. – 4 pots (Mary S
