Asarum canadense 
Ah, Wild Ginger. This is a funny little plant that most people would pass right by without a second glance.
 
A fantastic ground cover for shade gardens, beneath trees, or lining a woodland path, this little plant likes moist soil so be sure to keep that in mind when deciding where to plant.
 
Wild ginger is low growing, has lovely green heart-shaped leaves, and while it does produce very unique flowers, they grow underneath the foliage and become a fun surprise when you part the leaves. The unique flowers are belived to be pollinated by non-flying insects as they lay flat on the ground.
 
Wild ginger is said to be edible, but it isn’t the same as culinary ginger, and apparently has quite a kick to it. While we would recommend sticking to the culinary ginger unless you research this species well, there is a detailed write-up here if you are looking to explore its usage.
