Shell ginger looks like it would be worth digging up and storing over winter. Thanks for sharing!!

I hope it is not invasive!<BR/><BR/>Chuck, the botanical name is 'Alpinia zerumbet'. It is not hardy here - I dig it up and store it in the basement over the winter. It is worth growing for the foliage alone. It blooms in warmer climates and has small flowers that resemble seashells, thus the name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-79788037708125196532007-10-14T20:42:00.000-07:002007-10-14T20:42:00.000-07:00What is Shell Ginger?
