Asarum caudatum (Wild ginger)

Description

Part of the Village Green Collection. Oregon’s native ginger is one of our most beautiful woodland ground covers, best enjoyed for its mostly evergreen carpet of deep green heart-shaped (fragrant!) leaves, not to mention the unusual, other-worldly purplish-brown cupped flowers with long mousy tails extending from three flower lobes that hide and peek out from the foliage. Wild ginger grows natively in moist woodlands, with lots of acidic humus from the litter of fallen conifer needles. Supplying a similar condition will make your plant happy to settle in and spread by those thick rhizomes to eventually make a luxurious carpet in your woodland garden. Likes open-to-deep shade. Grows to 6″ tall. Photo courtesy of Portland Nursery.
