Wild Ginger (Asarum Caudatum):
(British Columbia wild ginger, western wild ginger, long-tailed wild ginger) A
perrenial, evergreen ground cover, growing under the shade of
forest canopies in western North America. In spring, it develops
beautiful rust coloured flowers, often hiden underneath the large
reniform (kidney/heart shaped) leaves, which stem from long
rhizomes (roots). The leaves emit a pleasant ginger-citrus aroma
when crushed. Once established the plant is self sufficient,
relatively drought hardy, slug resistant, and although prefering
shady areas it can survive almost anywhere. A great plant for the
garden!
