Asarum caudatum
€5.00
Evergreen, height to 15cm.
A superb, robust and very reliable ground cover plant for shade offering all year round greenery. The leaves are round and glossy. The red-purple flowers have long extensions (hence the [i]caudatum[/i]) The extraordinary lowers appear March to April on the underside of the plant where they are pollinated by beetles, flies and small moths. A very hardy plant from North America, give it good fertile well drained soil in full or semi shade.
