Ginger, White (Hedychium coronarium) potted plant, organic
$11.00
Family: Ginger (Zingiberaceae)
Hardy to Zones 8 to 12, otherwise grown as a potted plant and brought in for the winter
(White Ginger, Butterfly Ginger) Herbaceous perennial native to E. Asia and India, commonly found in the highlands of Hawaii, flowering to 3 feet. Emitting the scent of Gardenias, the flowers resemble a butterfly in flight and make a lovely garland for the hair. The exotic-scented essential oil from flowers and roots is used in high end perfumes. Rhizomes develop into large ginger roots that are good in cooking–tastes like mild yellow ginger (see photo of root grown in our greenhouse, which weighed in at 0.35 lb). Plant prefers moist or boggy soils and full sun.
Potted plant, Certified Organically Grown

Question
Faith –
I live in Spokane County, zone 6b. If I plant white ginger in a large pot outdoors in the late spring, how do I overwinter it? Bring the pot into the house or dig the rhyzomes and store them in peat moss in the root cellar?

Hi Faith,
Its my experience that the white ginger goes deeply dormant and is relatively easy to overwinter in soil in a pot.

White ginger is more aromatic and less pungent than yellow ginger.
