Asarum inflatum Shanghai Alpinia This clumping selection is superbAsarum 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.
