Asarum europaeum, commonly known as asarabacca, European wild ginger, hazelwort, and wild spikenard, is native to large parts of temperate Europe, and also cultivated in gardens. It is a creeping evergreen perennial with glossy green, kidney shaped leaves and solitary purple flowers hidden by the leaves. It occurs mostly in deciduous woodland or coniferous forests, especially in calcareous (chalky) soils.

A. europaeum is quite shade-tolerant and is often employed as groundcover where little else will grow. This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society-s Award of Garden Merit.
