Asarum
Common Name: Ginger - Wild Ginger
Asarum is an evergreen low-growing and rhizomatous woodland perennial. They are grown for their heart-shaped or kidney-shaped glossy leaves that conceal unusual-looking pitcher-shaped flowers. Asarum make nice groundcovers or woodland garden plants. Their rhizomes are aromatic. Asarum like partial to full shade and organically rich, moist but well-drained soil.
Plant Care: Divide carefully in early spring. Water regularly until the plant has established itself. Once established Asarums are very drought tolerant.
