Did you know?
Alpinia zerumbet, commonly known as shell ginger, is a perennial species of ginger native to East Asia. They can grow up to 8 to 10 ft tall and bear colorful funnel-shaped flowers. They are grown as ornamentals and their leaves are used in cuisine and traditional medicine.
The ginger plants are tall and lush and look great on the fence line.
Shell Ginger, y'all!
Such a gorgeous plant! I'll have to see if we can grow them up here in DC.
