Common Name: Canadian 'Wild Ginger'
Botanical Name : Asarum canadense                          Sorry, Sold Out for 2008

Native to North America, this woodland groundcover is sure to do well in your garden. It is a deciduous plant with green kidney-shaped leaves. The brownish, cup-shaped flowers emerge in the garden in early spring - around the same time as the leaves. Plants prefer cool, moist soils. They can grow 4-8" tall and can spread quite a lot given the right conditions!

Matures: 8-10" tall and wide.     Hardy to Zone 2.   

Common Name: European 'Ginger'
Botanical Name : Asarum europaeum  

The "Tiffany" of shade groundcovers, European Ginger will entice you with its amazing, deep, green, shiny foliage and its dense, mounding, spreading habit. This plant's superb foliage has no peer and its ease of growth in shady, moist areas will have you searching your yard for more planting spots.

Matures:6-8" tall and 8-10" wide.         Hardy to Zone 4
