Description
Asarum splendens, or Chinese Wild Ginger, is a stunning and vigorous ground cover native to China, prized for its highly ornamental foliage and unique flowers. Its large, heart-shaped leaves are deep green with striking silver mottling, creating an elegant and textured appearance that enhances shaded garden spaces year-round.
In early spring, this shade-loving perennial produces fascinating, dark purple-brown, bell-shaped flowers hidden beneath its foliage. While small and often unnoticed, these unusual blooms add an exotic touch and attract ground-dwelling pollinators. Growing 6-10 inches (15-25 cm) tall and spreading gradually via underground rhizomes, Asarum splendens forms a lush, weed-resistant mat, making it an excellent choice for shaded areas, woodland gardens, and naturalistic plantings.
