I’ve been trying to grow galangal from organic rhizomes purchased from the local food co-ops with no success. Happy to find plants for sale at SM. They arrived on time and looking very healthy last autumn and have thrived during a long winter indoors in northern MN. I expect they will explode like the ginger and turmeric once they get out side.
