Ginger - Zingiberaceae
Most ornamental gingers are quite tall and graceful with their arching sturdy stems filled with wide sword shaped leaves, while others are quite short and ground hugging.  They are all beautiful and offer a definite tropical look to any place lucky enough to be graced with their presence.  There are many different types of gingers with various forms of bloom.  Some are bold, showing off their ample  bloom at the end of each sky reaching stalk, while others are shy, keeping their blooms close at hand at the base of the plant.   Nearly all gingers have beautiful foliage which makes them attractive even when they are not in flower. Most gingers are not hardy plants, so they will thrive in the ground year round in warm parts of the country, but must be protected where there are cold winters.   In cold climates, the rhizomes must be dug up and kept in a cool dark dry place away from the freezing temperatures until spring when they can be planted in your garden once again.
