Shell Ginger

$20.00

Shell Ginger is a lush, architectural perennial known for its broad, glossy leaves and striking pendant clusters of shell‑like flowers—white on the outside with vivid yellow and pink interiors. Growing 6–9 ft tall, it creates an instant tropical presence in landscapes. It prefers rich soil, consistent moisture, and partial sun, making it ideal for tropical borders, screening, or container plantings.

Origin

Native to the tropical and subtropical regions of East Asia, especially Japan (Ryukyu Islands), Taiwan, and southern China. It thrives in warm, humid forests and coastal environments and is widely grown ornamentally across tropical climates worldwide.

Hardiness

Best suited for USDA Zones 8–11. Evergreen in warm climates; in cooler zones, foliage may die back with frost but rhizomes typically return in spring

Buy 2 or more 2-gallon for $18 each
