    Heartleaf Ginger (Asarum arifolium)
    Birthwort Family
    Heartleaf Ginger has large, arrowhead shaped leaves with bold, silvery mottling. This evergreen plant will form a small colony over time and can be used as a groundcover for small gardens. The brownish-green, cup-like flowers lie close and give the plant its other common name, ‘Little Brown Jug’.
