Wild Ginger

Wild Ginger is prized for its dense mats of large, heart-shaped leaves, which provide a rich green groundcover in shaded areas. The plant's small, bell-shaped maroon flowers bloom close to the ground in early spring, often hidden beneath the leaves. It’s an excellent choice for a woodland garden or as a natural "mulch" under deciduous trees, helping to suppress weeds and stabilize soil moisture.

• Prefers moist, well-drained soil; plant in a suitable area or plan to water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture
• Minimal pruning is needed, though you ca remove old leaves in spring to encourage fresh growth
• Divide rhizomes in early spring every 3-4 years to propagate or manage spread.
• Seedlings are rare, but allow them to grow to fill in areas, or relocate to other parts of the garden if desired
