Spiral Ginger  (Costus Pictus) Is a perennial native to Mexico. This Ginger never looks ratty like some other plants might in winter - it's lush, green and beautiful! The spiral ginger is a hardy vigorous growing ginger to 2m tall, with thin red spotted stems. Flowers are very nice, yellow with red stripes. It flowers throughout spring and summer, and flowers are edible; they are often added to salads.

The Spiral Ginger is best grown in part shade to part sun, but will grow well in full sun with adequate water. Mine are in full sun and they are my most lushious looking plant. The perfect backdrop for other flower plants, and perfect protection also as they grow incredibly fast. Costus pictus will grow in containers or in the ground in moist well drained rich soil.

Shell Ginger (Alpinia zerumbet) is a cold hardy ginger growing as far south as Melbourne, it has flowers that resemble sea shells which are white with pink tips, flowering in spring and summer in the cooler areas and all year round in the warmer parts of Australia, prefers morning sun and will grow in semi shade it can also be used for a screen plant. Grows up to 2 meters + the ginger likes rich organic soil in a moist well drained position and will tolerate dry conditions once established, can also be grown in a container but not as an indoor plant. When you receive your rhizomes plant them in a pot until established, plant the rhizomes with the new shoots/stem/buds pointing upwards no more than 3-4 cm under the soil with the shoots or buds above the soil, water thoroughly and then do not water again until the soil feels dry, keep moist when shoots start to grow. Use slow release fertilizer and keep the pots in a warm shady position until the leaves unfold then your ginger can be planted into your garden.

Another favourite! Incredibly fast growing in the right position, perfect for a quick screen! Beautiful plant from Natal, South Africa. Tall, striking foliage plant growing up to 12m high and 4m wide. It is evergreen, with multiple stems that form a dense clump. Very hardy with large dramatic leaves for a true tropical effect. Huge flowers resemble birds’ heads and can be used in floral arrangements. Flowers appear within a year in the right conditions. Excellent indoor and potted plant, even in exposed positions, but provide some shelter from strong winds. Flowers are eye-catching, white and blue. Easy care, mulch garden specimens, provide regular water, and slow release fertilizer in spring and summer.
