Asarum Ling-Ling

Description

Asarum ‘Ling-Ling’ is a stunning selection of wild ginger, known for its beautifully textured foliage and intricate, exotic-looking flowers. This low-growing, evergreen perennial forms a dense mat of rounded, deep green leaves that provide excellent ground cover in shaded gardens. Its unique, bell-shaped flowers, appearing in spring, feature a striking combination of burgundy-brown tones with intricate white or pale green markings, creating a fascinating contrast beneath the foliage.

Thriving in partial to full shade, Asarum ‘Ling-Ling’ prefers rich, well-drained, humus-rich soil and requires minimal maintenance once established. It is highly resistant to deer and rabbits, making it an ideal choice for woodland gardens, rock gardens, or as an underplanting for trees and shrubs. Though slow-growing, its ability to form a dense carpet of foliage makes it excellent for erosion control and weed suppression.
