White-flowered Western Wild Ginger

Asarum caudatum f. album

Asarum

Wild Ginger

Stretching out by underground rhizomes, the Wild Gingers are handsome woodland dwellers whose large-leafed, low growing colonies flourish in moist, shady niches. Long petioles elevate their polished, usually heart-shaped foliage while darkly colored, three-lobed blooms add intrigue.

Asarum caudatum f. album partial shade  shade lover

A lover of loose, leafy soil, this native of western North America grows in the deep shade of redwood forests and pine woods, spreading its rhizomes to form wide evergreen patches of foliage that can endure some drought. The 3 petals of the creamy white flowers end in long tapering wisps under the embossed, heart-shaped leaves. Combine with Alchemilla ellenbeckii and Dicentra ‘Margery Fish’ for an enchanting mélange.

Blooms April – June.

Size: 4"–6" high & spreading; hardy to zone 7.
