Dwarf Spiral Ginger - $15 (gilroy)

QR Code Link to This Post

Known as "Insulin Ginger," this plant has edible leaves and flowers which balance blood sugar levels. It is a slow-growing dwarf variety which is quite rare since spiral gingers usually grow over 7ft tall. It makes a beautiful house plant and grows best in morning sun/afternoon shade.

Ours lives in a three-gallon pot in our greenhouse and is watered only once or twice a week, fertilized once a year in the early summer. It makes a patch about 1 to 2 feet tall, flowers all summer long, then slowly dies back and goes dormant for the winter, coming back up around April or May.

You will receive a fresh specimen with roots taken from my three-year-old mother plant, seen in the first photo. What you see in the second picture was grown in a red solo cup with a hole in the bottom and was potted-up as soon as it started to bush out and form its patch which only took a month or two. Thanks for your interest!
