Wild Ginger's large heart-shaped leaves can be 6" in diameter, and its sturdy root creates a dense network that creeps to form a solid groundcover. Once established, it can fend off Garlic Mustard and other invasives. As a woodland native this deer resistant plant enjoys shade and tolerates a variety of soil types. An attractive dark red flower, usually hidden from view by the foliage, blooms in early spring and fades fairly quickly.
