Description Fine Print
 
Asarum caudatum f. album commonly known as the western wild ginger, hails from the moist forests and mountains of western North America including BC. It has attractive, somewhat glossy, heart-shaped foliage which combines well with lacy ferns and bleeding hearts. Loose, rich soil allows its rhizomes to form wide, evergreen to semi-evergreen patches that can endure some summer drought once established. This special form has creamy-white flowers comprised of 3-petals with long tapering wisps that emerge in spring to summer underneath the foliage. Leaves and roots are aromatic when crushed. Resistant to deer, rabbit, snails and slugs.
