Wonderful pics everyone.  I only grow a few here... A. maxima, splendens, caudatum alba and marmoratum (the last I haven't flowered as yet).  I just love them.  I noticed yesterday when I picked up a 6 inch pot that i have had splendens in, that there were shoots coming out 3 different drainage holes.  I'm going to have to cut the pot to pieces to get them out safely.  ::)  Worth the effort though.  The original plant on top is still looking good, I just didn't realise that there were shoots coming out the bottom as well.  :o

Thanks again for the pics everyone.

It suddenly struck me tonight that I could not think of a single Asarum hybrid.  Can this be so?  Surely the Japanese have tried their hand at hybridizing them....

Asarum europeaeum would surely make a very hardy parent.

It is not that kind of thoughts that occupy me at night ;D but I am looking for slug-hardy Asarums. I have not had success with any - and it is not the weather.

I do not think there is such a thing Hoy but the ones that get least eaten here are A. caudatum, caulescens and canadense (species with small hairs on the leaves). Anything near evergreen, glossy and with silver markings seems to be their number one dinning choice!
