Quicksilver Chinese Wild Ginger

Contact your local store to check availability

Dramatic silver mottling adorns the deep green foliage which creates a striking groundcover or filler in shady and woodland gardens. The large 2 in. flowers are curiously hidden underneath the leaves that can be up to 7 inches long. Semi-evergreen.
