Asarum caudatum

Wild Ginger is an evergreen understory plant that eventually forms a carpet of lustrous, aromatic leaves and fascinating, furtive flowers that are well-worth getting down on your hands and knees to investigate. Peek under the glossy, heart-shaped leaves in late spring and you’ll be fantastically rewarded with intricate burgundy blooms that are equal parts whimsical and wicked. 

Like most evergreen groundcovers, Wild Ginger holds moisture and protects both the soil and forest floor dwellers like arthropods, which in turn support birds and amphibians. The flowers attract and are pollinated by ground beetles. 

  • Plant type/canopy layer: evergreen perennial herbaceous plant
  • Size at maturity: 6" tall, 3' wide
  • Light requirements: full shade, part-sun/part-shade
  • Moisture requirements: moist soil
  • Growth rate/ease: moderate to slow growth rate, moderately difficult to grow
  • Bloom time: April - August
  • Wildlife support: supports beneficial insects/pest eating insects, cover for amphibians, arthropods and other forest floor dwellers
  • Native habitat/range: Common throughout western OR, WA and northern CA - north to British Columbia, northeast to MT; in mesic or wet places of conifer forests or rocky areas up to 1800 meters. Portland Plant List - yes.
  • Special features & uses: evergreen, groundcover, edible (note: though roots are edible - it is not related to culinary ginger and consumption of large amounts could be toxic), medicinal

Gardening with Wild Ginger: Wild Ginger prefers garden areas that are shady, moist, slightly acidic, with adequate organic matter such as leaf litter. It will particularly thrive when planted with established native trees like Douglas-fir, western hemlock, grand fir, and western redcedar, as well as deciduous small trees and shrubs such as red alder, vine maple, and native hazelnut. Other associates include sword fern, deer fern, goatsbeard, fairybells, and trillium.

As with all native plants, but particularly for Wild Ginger, plant it in fall for best success and keep it hydrated with deep, infrequent waterings for the first couple of summers, especially if your site lacks many trees or is subjected to heat. When happy, it will creep by rhizome into a lush low groundcover. Since it is not fast growing, plant in multiples and space them a couple feet apart to fill an area of your woodland garden.

Works great!
Size: 180 Count (Pack of 1)
Purchased this item at the recommendation of my PCP to help alleviate my Charlie Horses in my legs. Take 3 tabs an hour or so before bedtime, and it solved that issue.

It's easy to take one pill a day.

I sometimes get cramps in my calves while sleeping, so I eat before bed. Personally, I think it's effective. I am satisfied with the product and delivery.

best sleep aid I have found
Item Package Quantity: 1, Style: 240 Count (Pack of 1)
this is the best sleep aid I have found. This dissolves under the tongue, goes right into your system and I take two of them every night. They do not work like a sleeping pill and knock you out immediately--- they are natural and take longer plus I feel you need time to get them in your system and feel a difference. Therefore I did not expect immediate results. I have had insomnia for years so I took them for a couple of months when I started noticing the most effect. Now when I take them and let them dissolve under my tongue I know that in about 30 minutes or less I will start to feel drowsy and will naturally go to sleep. Over time I have felt my sleep has deepened and now I rarely awaken during the night. By the way, in the beginning of my search to solve my insomnia problem, I tried taking the melatonin pills that you just swallow but did not get the same results that I have gotten with these that I put under my tongue. Excellent company and excellent product.
