Variegated Ginger is an herbaceous perennial that brings a pop of bright, tropical interest to any landscape. Its striking variegated yellow and green leaves bow out on arching stems as the plant grows in clumps to about 4 ft wide and 4-7 feet tall. In spring, sweetly fragrant flowers appear in panicles of white and pink. The blossoms resemble a shell, which is why it is also known as shell ginger. Variegated ginger is a low-maintenance but exotic plant that thrives in heat, humidity, and partial sun, preferring moist soils and protection from extreme cold. Use this stunning plant to bring a lush feel to any landscape, especially poolside areas or protected enclaves. Variegated ginger also does very well in containers and indoors. Grown at Creekside Nursery in 3 gallon containers.
