Description:
Asarum caudatum, native to the northwest United States, is an evergreen plant with satiny heart-shaped leaves that form a carpet in woodland gardens. It produces reddish-brown, purplish cup-shaped flowers from April to July, which are pollinated by flies. This spreading species thrives in moist, shaded environments and reproduces both rhizomatously and sexually, with seeds dispersed by ants. Known for its antifungal properties, the root is edible and was used medicinally by Native Americans.
