Wild Ginger

Its aromatic rhizomes have a true ginger-like fragrance when crushed, and its large, heart-shaped leaves form one of the best weed-suppressing native groundcovers for shade.

• Low-growing, colony-forming groundcover that spreads slowly by rhizomes
• Curious brownish-purple flowers are hidden beneath the foliage in April and May
• Thrives in shaded, humus-rich, moist soils
• Excellent companion plant for ferns and other native woodland groundcovers
