Saruma henryi

It’s like a wild ginger with showy flowers – thus, the generic name, which is an anagram of the botanical moniker of wild ginger (Asarum). The three-parted yellow blooms are borne on 2-foot stems above clumps of heart-shaped, wild-gingerish leaves, from spring to summer. Rare and outstanding, like quite a few other things in the nursery! Shade garden.
