Have you ever seen Honeycomb Ginger?

[markodochartaigh]

1. There are several different cultivars

with different color inflorescences. They do well in zone 9b and south, although if the tops freeze they might not flower the next year. Also they may struggle in the 7 months of drought which can occur in South Florida, especially if the soil is pure sand. The inflorescence makes a long lasting cut flower, although it has no fragrance. Shampoo ginger is a relative which produces a liquid used in shampoos.
