I just got my first Ginger called Peach Ginger. I cant wait to see it bloom.

Yup, they are like the brugs and don't start blooming til it cools off around here, lol.

The ginger is beautiful! I had always wanted to grow ginger and bought a root at the grocery store and tried to root it without sucess!!! LOL!!! I bought a small start of a Globba Winitii (Dancing Ladies) this summer. The heat about killed the poor thing even in the shade. I will bring it in the house this winter. I just won some ginger roots from Hawaii on Ebay. Should get them next week. Does your ginger stay in the ground all winter in your zone? Do you grow any other kinds of ginger?
Thanks for sharing!

Lucy,

Those are pretty ginger blooms I bet it smells good. I got a variegated shell ginger in June. I don't expect it to bloom until next year but really looking forward to it.

Joyce,
I live in Fort Worth, and I will be bringing mine in soon to overwinter in the garage. I have it in a container sunk in the ground. Gingers from Hawaii, I bet they will be pretty ones.

Deb, Where did you purchase your variegated shell ginger? I just looked it up and it is gorgeous! The foliage is nice until it blooms! I love variegated foliage! I finally got some variegated canna's this summer. Thanks for telling me about yours!

Joyce culinary ginger doesn't bloom but it does make a nice plant. The butterfly gingers Hedychium (like the one Lucy posted) can take quite a bit of cold and can stay inground in zone 7b and warmer. Kristy you'll love the peach one. It has beautiful blooms and smells wonderful.

I can smell the ginger; thanks Lucy!

Joyce,

I love variegated foliage too but so many of them don't do well in the summer heat here unless you have them in the shade, the white portion will often sunburn if it's not in the shade. The variegated ginger holds up pretty well here. I got it at a local independent nursery here in Fort Worth. But I also saw them at Lowes or Home Depot this summer. They also had tri-color gingers which look like the variegated but the leaves are a wine color underneath. I missed out on them this year, but hope to pick a couple up next year.
