Asarum speciosum 'Woodlanders Select' (Alabama Wild Ginger)

Light Shade to ShadeZone: 5-9 10" tall Origin: USA

We are pleased to once again offer the rare, but easy-to-grow, evergreen native ginger from our neighbors to the south in Alabama, where it occurs in only two counties. This selection was made by Bob McCartney of Woodlanders Nursery as being particularly nice in foliage and flower. The large arrowhead-shaped 6" leaves of green are marbled with muted silver patterns. In late spring, the base of the clump is adorned with giant silver dollar-sized flowers that look like bloodshot owl eyes awakening after a three day drunk...get the picture? This clonal selection has been propagated by tissue culture to assure uniformity. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
