Asarum europaeum '' Common Names: Snakeroot, Wood Ginger

Description:

Originally a native of Canada, this little creeper gives off a strong scent of ginger from its large fleshy tubers. Though it can be situated in borders, it comes into its own as a ground-core plant in moist and shady parts of the garden. The flowers are a find deep red but even more important are the silky leaves that cover the soil throughout the year, even in winter.

Recommendations:

- Make sure to keep moist during dry conditions. - Annual which self-seeds.
