Ginger plants include a large number of species in several genera in the Zingiberaceae family of plants, mostly tropical perennials originating in Southern and Southeast Asia. The most well-known genus is Zingibar; its species include the common spice ginger, Zingibar officianale, also known as true ginger. But for ornamental purposes, several other genera offer better species. The number of ginger plant species available for avid collectors is staggering. And there is great variation among species: one flower looks like an otherworldly pinecone; another resembles a mutant orchid; still another looks like a tropical insect dreamed up by a cartoonist. Although some people associate flowering gingers with the state of Hawaii, many of the species were introduced to the island as ornamentals, and some, like the red button ginger, are considered invasive plants. Ginger plants spread and emerge from rhizomes, the thick fleshy root-like structures you are accustomed to seeing in the produce section of the market. The leaves are usually lance-shaped or oblong, deep green, and glossy. Flowers vary greatly from one genus to another and may be borne throughout the growing season in tropical climates.

Grow them in moist, well-drained garden soil in a part-shade location, or one that gets filtered sun all day. Flowering ginger will grow quite vigorously in the garden and has been known to take over garden spaces. Avoid planting it near natural areas where it might escape. Feed at least every other month, and clip back flower stalks to the ground after they finish blooming. The plant is fairly trouble-free, but root rot may occur in cold, wet soil. Growing in Containers Although most flowering gingers are too large to grow as houseplants, you can keep them in your greenhouse or conservatory or grow them on a shaded deck or patio. In fact, most gingers have a longer bloom period if grown in large pots. Ginger blooms will last as cut flowers for as long as three weeks. Gardeners should consult the care tag of the individual species to choose a proper location or container size. Choose a large container with a diameter of at least 24 inches. Larger containers also retain moisture for longer periods.
