Asarum splendens

Chinense Wild Ginger
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 splendens 
“Splendid” seems like too modest a word to proclaim the elegance of this ginger's foliage! glistening, broadly arrow-shaped, deep green leaves flaunt dramatic silver marbling and come spring, 2 in. wide dark purple blossoms with white throats. Situated among Podophyllum hexandrum, easy-to-grow Asarum splendens sculpts a show stealing, illustriously patterned ground cover in just a few years that appreciates warm, humid summers while resenting cool ones.
Blooms April – May Size: 8" high & spreading; hardy to zone 6. Asarum splendens (p-1247)
