Description
This handsome plant is one that creates a striking groundcover at the base of tall trees in woodland gardens, since the large heart-shaped leaves create a low, solid, dark green carpet. The flowers are curious, nodding under the leaves with three reddish-brownish triangular petals. Like many other plants with attractive leaves, this famous wildflower is grown almost exclusively for its decorative foliage. As for the common name, this eastern woodland plant is no relation to the culinary gingers, which are tropical plants. Wild ginger spreads somewhat rapidly and is a favorite feature in fine, shaded wildflower collections, often used as a contrast companion plant for more showy species such as Trilliums and violets.

Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.

Love my location
"I planted the Wild Ginger in several locations. My original order was substituted with a darker variety, and it loves my location: Zone 7B, Shade, medium soil, did best in the areas which are watered more frequently. I plan to purchase more!"
Wait & see.
"The firup st plants I ordered looked dried up when they arrived. Not knowing what they should look like, I planted them but they did not grow. The company replaced them. I received two healthy looking plants and one plant that had the shoot broken. So far the two healthy plants are doing well but the third plant doen't look like it will servive."
Love my Wild Ginger
"I had tried to hard to find Wild Ginger in the Nurseries and it was unavailable. So happy to find it here online. Beautiful plant."
They are growing
"two did sprout - not sure what happened to the third one. maybe when it gets warmer it will appear."
