Asarum: S-Z

Asarums or wild gingers continue to attract attention from shade gardeners because of their beautiful, often evergreen, foliage that offers a partial cure for hosta fatigue. They are not as carefree as hostas (few plants are) but many gardeners are succeeding with them.

They can be very satisfying plants if their basic needs are met. If you have suitable conditions for woodland plants such as ferns and trilliums, you should be able to grow asarums.
