Asarum Caudatum
Asarum Caudatum, commonly found in moist forest settings, this wild ginger is a good ground cover in shady locations. The Foliage and root has a spicy smell similar to culinary ginger when crushed. Culinary ginger is not, however, an Asarum. Culinary ginger is in the Zingiberaceae or true ginger family while wild gingers are members of the Aristolochiaceae or pipe vine family. Various species of Asarum are used medicinally.
They are generally slow to moderate growers.
