Wild Ginger is a trailing herb to 6" high with stems that root at the nodes.  Found in both moist and dry, shaded woodland areas with humus rich soils.  It's shiny, heart shaped leaves make for a nice groundcover. 

Flower is from the crown at ground level and usually under the inner leaves - maroon in color.  I'm not really sure that the listed name is correct, as this particular ginger is native almost exclusively to our area and easily differentiated from the others by the silvery veins running through the leaves.

Evergreen.  If slugs are a problem in your area, pass on this guy.
