A product that meets the demand, the question I had upon receipt was whether it would recover... well, yes, today the leaves are multiplying.

Description

Asarum europaeum is a slow-growing ground cover species with evergreen leaves, capable of growing in dry shade.

Asarum europaeum or European wild ginger forms a carpet of persistent, tough, round, dark green leaves. The dark red flowers are hidden under the foliage and bloom in late spring. With slow growth, it is one of the few species that can tolerate dry shade.

Easy to grow, European wild ginger is a shade plant, for moist to wet soil that is very rich in humus and always well drained.

Plant it at the edge of undergrowth or in a fresh rockery, in the company of epimediums, hostas, Hakonehloa or heucheras.
