Asarum caudatum is an evergreen, perennial groundcover native to western North America. It is prized for its ability to thrive in shady, moist woodland gardens. It features fragrant, kidney- or heart-shaped foliage and a fragrant, thimble-shaped, maroon to burgundy flower that blooms in spring. The plant is deer-resistant, semi-evergreen in some climates and is cold hardy. It grows to about 6 inches tall and spreads slowly by rhizomes.
