It was sold to me as a ginger, but might be a Stromanthe

Thanks Steve. I have the perfect spot for it. It might not live though the winter for me, but I'm going to try.

Throw an old blanket over it when the temperatures get below 30.

Thanks Steve. I've been googling it and have hope that it will survive here as it has in other zone 8s.

They're quite an attractive plant. I've got a couple that have been flowering. Far from a spectacular flower, but still interesting.

tropicbreezent, I haven't seen one in flower yet. I'll have to google that. Thanks.

I've planted in sheltered zone 8 and it went thru the winter here in Central Texas. I'd love to know if anyone has had luck in zone 8 with no so much protection. Thank you!!

Ha! forgot I posted this! Was about to answer Jacemae since nobody else did...guess on a whim I'll ask if anybody has tried Torch Ginger in Zone 8?
