This is a Chinese ginger. I don't know or care if it is edible, or even if it flowers. I got it because I really dig the foliage. I hope it multiplies well, or I'm going to have to get more. It really brings a lot of interest to an already interesting shade garden.
I got it from a garden center that has been in the area for a really long time, but for some reason, this is the first time I have ever visited it. They have beautiful plants that are reasonably priced too. This ginger was about $7. I will definitely be going back to that nursery!
Ah I wish I had a shady area I love foliage, however I do the best I can with what I have and plant the sun loving plants.
ReplyDeletePlant some trees. That's what we are doing this year to get more shade to plant in.
ReplyDeleteI have planted an Apricot tree however it will be awhile yet before it gives us fruit or shade
ReplyDeleteI always like the Gerber apricots- the sweetened ones, not the granola save-my-baby ones (yuck!).
