Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Asarum delavayi 'Sichuan Splendour'. From the 2004 Heronswood Nursery catalog: "Asarum delavayi 'Sichuan Splendour' / Certainly one of the most magnificent of the Hardy Gingers is this evergreen species from Emei Shan in Sichuan province, and one of the most adaptable ot the summer-cool climate of the Pacific Northwest. Glossy silver-mottled, heart-shaped leaves arise from a spreading rhizome on dark petioles, while intriguing and large black velvet flowers, with rose and cream markings, are produced at ground level in early spring. We cultivate this in a partially shaded site in moist, humus-rich soil where it tantalizes nearly every visitor in our garden. Aristolochiaceae. W. China"
