Received European Ginger. I'll see how they do.

I am not accustomed working with this bare root plant. I will have to see how it does. My concern is that when they arrived, they had sprouted in the mail, and then sprouts had then mostly withered. Bad luck I guess. I planted them right away and watered them. I guess I’ll see how it does.

European Ginger 3 For $11.99

I received my order from you in only four days-record time. All of the plants were in excellent shape, and looked to have been dug up minutes before they were shipped. I am really happy to have found your company! I took a chance, now I have my new source. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you for a job well done.

We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, Kelley. These are the stories that keep us so motivated to continue doing what we are doing, and we are so happy to hear that you had a great experience. Let us know if we can do anything else for you.

Description Reviews

European Ginger (Asarum arifolium) 

European Ginger: Asarum arifolium, previously Hexastylis arifolia, is the standard European ginger. Despite its reference to Europe, this evergreen species is a native North American perennial that originated in the humid forests of the southeast.

Besides European Ginger, here are a few additional common names for this adorable evergreen plant:

  • Arrowhead Wild Ginger
  • Heartleaf Ginger
  • Heartleaf Wild Ginger
  • Little Brown Jugs
  • Green Valentine 

TN Nursery recommends this plant in the mid-south and midwest's moderate planting zones.

European Ginger Is an Excellent Shade Garden Ground Cover 

Finding the best plants for a shade garden can be challenging--European Ginger is one pretty perennial that flourishes in the deepest shade. 

It loves moist soil that drains well. It is happiest when it beds down in plenty of organic material. When you plant European ginger, add a generous scoop of mulch, grass clippings, peat moss, or shredded leaves. It loves these materials. 

The Lovely Green Foliage Makes European Ginger a Popular Choice. European Ginger is a favorite of TN Nursery customers who need to add profuse greenery to a shady spot. 

The foliage is impressive. Each leaf can measure as much as six inches long and wide. Some gardeners describe the shape of the leaf as a blunt, rounded arrowhead. But others explain that it makes an abstract heart shape. The leaves have veins that create a crackled or leathery appearance. 

The plant produces tiny, light burgundy to brown, jug-shaped flowers with a soft, peach fuzz texture. However, these are fairy blossoms--so small that the many leaves tend to conceal them.

During the middle to end of summer, European Ginger will produce tiny berries. They are inedible to humans, but your backyard birds will enjoy harvesting them.
