Tolmiea menziesii - piggyback plant

Tolmiea menziesii - Wikipedia:

great for understory of wet locations, will naturallize and take over.  Since we have no truely wet areas we would have to provide an artificial system for this so it is not really a permaculture.  however this could be "built" into the creek pump system in a mechanism that uses a passive overflow type diversion accross the hill.  perhaps a leaky leach line typ affair for a head area of this type of vegitation. once installed it would run for years with no maintanence. The volume could be controlled mainly by its lengh.
