Historically used as a flavor substitute for culinary ginger, consumption today is ill-advised. The Virginia Native Plant Society selected Wild Ginger as Wildflower of the Year for 2010.

Small green plant in wood mulch. Plant tag reads ASARUM CANADENSE WILD GINGER. Perennial. Part to full shade. 6-10". Soft green, heart shaped follage. Space 8-12". Red flowers are hidden underneath follage In early spring.

I love plants that can survive inconsistent care. Case in point … Wild Ginger bought impulsively at #themortonarboretum Plant Sale in 2024 coming back for its first spring in 2025! Welcome back, gingers!! 🎉🎉🎉 @andrewlhipp.bsky.social would this pair well with a sedge? #asarumcanadense #wildginger

Thinking of the beautiful things that grow in Vanuatu

The start of a plant that is supposedly Wild Ginger. It has two large leaves compared to the stem base.

Rose plant coming out of an unkempt flower bed. The leaves and stems are tinged with red. No flowers yet.

We also have a little bit of other plants! On the left is supposedly the beginning of our #WildGinger, but l'm not sure since l'm no expert. It certainly seems like it, but l'd have to do a bit of research.

We also have an old #Rose plant of sorts! I'm not sure what type yet.
