Asarum inflatum Shanghai Ornamental Grasses slightly moist woodland soilAsarum inflatum 'Shanghai' is the only form of the rarely grown Chinese Asarum inflatum that we are aware of in cultivation. Asarum inflatum 'Shanghai' makes a 6" tall x 18" wide (in 5 years) slowly spreading evergreen patch of very thick, 5" long, heart shaped leaves that are green with a muted silver marbling. The clumps are adorned in early April (NC) with stunning masses of large purple black flowers, each with a corrugated white eye. Thanks to
