                Asarums - The Wild Gingers
  A wonderful genus, excellent as a woodland ground cover.  Some have lovely deep green glossy leaves and others have splendid variegations rivalling the best Cyclamen.  Each and every year I become more and more fond of these intriguing plants. These plants are slow to moderate growers with fleshy roots that take a year or so to settle in.  In fact, if heavily disturbed plants often sit dormant until the next growing season.  However, once established they make splendid mounds of spreading foliage that is so variable from species to species it makes you appreciate the diversity of life.

The flowers are drooping and are carried on short stocks that emerge from where the leaves branch.  This makes the flowers lie just above the ground but foliage is set so far above that they are easily seen. This is an outstanding groundcover which should be in every shade garden.  In the past,  we have sold this plant as D.veitchii which is what it was labeled when it came to us. To complicate matters further, what we have previously sold as D.versipelle has turned out to be a yet unidentified species.
