Asarum inflatum Shanghai Kosteletzkya highlighted by a dark maroonAsarum inflatum 'Shanghai' is the only form of the rarely grown Chinese Asarum inflatum that we are aware of in cultivation. Asarum inflatum 'Shanghai' makes a 6" tall x 18" wide (in 5 years) slowly spreading evergreen patch of very thick, 5" long, heart shaped leaves that are green with a muted silver marbling.
