Diohio's Garden

Ginger, Tropical

Genus: Alpinia.

Species: Alpinia zerumbet.

Not sure if I bought this from Carolyn Wilson's greenhouse or Glasshouse Works back in 2000. I think I paid $6-8 for it. It has really grown since then. I've transplanted it twice to bigger pots, last being in spring of 2007 when it went into a 30 gallon tub. All new leaves in spring 2008 because I put it in too much direct sun at first and they burned. It still hasn't bloomed a single time for me but I'm hoping soon.
