The Gardener's Notepad
One of the most beautiful ground covers, and will thrive in deep shade to partial sun. Extremely glossy, deep green leaves are held low to the ground, and do a pretty good job of hiding the curiously shaped flowers. Foliage has a distinct ginger scent when crushed. A slow and steady perennial with what I believe is the widest hardiness range I have ever seen!
