Wild Ginger Plant

Wild ginger plants are simple, elegant, vining plants with heart-shaped leaves, which serve as a natural woodland ground cover. The flowers have small, deep burgundy-to-brownish blooms that sit at soil level. These native perennials are pollinated by ground-dwelling insects, which is pretty unusual and adds to the plant’s old-forest charm. They work well at reducing soil erosion and stopping runoff due to their thick, tangled roots.
