Asarum kiusianum var tubulosum Aquarius Australia lightly-fragrant flowers are pendent cinnamonWe are very excited to finally be able to share the amazing Japanese wild ginger, Asarum 'Aquarius', our 2024 selection of Asarum kiusianum var. tubulosum. This gem hails from woodlands on the southernmost of the larger main Japanese islands, Kyushu.
