When to plant canadian wild ginger

Canadian wild ginger is a low shade ground cover with heart-shaped leaves and hidden flowers in mid-spring (NC State: April to May) at the base of the plant. Plant or divide rhizomes in spring or fall in shaded, moist, humus-rich soil.

Canadian Wild Ginger is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
