Saruma henryi

Species: Saruma henryi.

A monotypic genus of a recently introduced woodland perennial with valuable ornamental qualities, closely related to Asarum. With hairy bronzed shoots emerging from the woodland floor in early spring, opening to softly hairy heart-shaped leaves ageing to fresh green. Bearing a steady show of axillary three-petalled pastel yellow flowers to 2cm across from April to November. Easily grown in a cool woodland setting in a drained moisture retentive sight in part to full shade.
