Evergreen and drough tolerant

Name: shuttleworth's wild ginger (Asarum shuttleworthii)
Zones: 6 to 9
Size: 4 inches tall and 1 foot wide
Conditions: Partial to full shade; moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil

The evergreen leaves of Shuttleworth's wild ginger create a close-knit cover that hides its insignificant"little brown jug" flowers in spring. Although it can be expensive, it is easily propagated by division.
