can anyone help name this plant

I am new to gardening
we have just moved and are now proud owners of a garden
I was given this plant by a friend and she has no idea what it is she didnt plant it, it just poped up at first she thought it was a weed but it clearly isnt.
does anyone know what this plant is called so I can look it up and find a suitable place in my garden for it. thank you

Looks to me like a variegated chameleon plant (Houttuynia cordata).

I think the leaves are sometimes eaten in salads. That sure would be unique and pretty! :)
