Large shampoo ginger roots for planting
Zingiber zerumbet Shampoo Ginger has its name due to its thick clear fluid and has been widely used as a substitute for shampoo in Asian countries. It also makes a great landscape plant and cut flower.
A basel green cone is produced in Summer with creamy white flowers. At the end of the bloom the cone turns red.
This plant can survive in Zones 7-11 comfortably; and due to its short season (Spring to Summer) and yearly dormancy (Fall to Spring) these plants can be grown in a pot and grown anywhere.
