This rather recent and native Chinese arrival is a woodland groundcover ginger with large, dark green, evergreen, and deer-resistant leaves. Asarum splendens is a vigorously rhizomatous species and makes a dense carpet of green and silver -mottled hearts. In early spring the large, 2-inch, deeply-cupped flowers of dark purple-brown are a unique and exclamation-eliciting bloom when discovered beneath the foliage. (Not culinary; called ginger for its scent when crushed.)

Minimum temperature: 0° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
