Scientific Name: Alpinia zerumbet. Common Name: 'Shell Ginger'. A beautiful ornamental ginger grown for its foliage as well as its exotic looking white flowers. Both the leaves and flowers are attractive in flower arrangements. Native to Indonesia but grown throughout the tropical world as an ornamental landscape item. The tight clumps of tall slender erect stems will die back with freezing temperatures but in cold regions, the rhizomes can be dug and stored indoors for the winter. It is commonly called shell ginger or shellflower because its individual shell pink flowers, particularly when in bud, resemble sea shells. A very special plant easy to grow from seeds and is great as a container plant or as a landscape item in tropical regions. Perfect fast growing clumping plant to give any tropical or subtropical patio or courtyard a taste of the tropics. It makes an excellent landscape plant that is easily cared for. Tropical but can be wintered indoors in colder regions. Great for mass plantings and border areas.

This item is a collector's packet of one hundred (100) Alpinia zerumbet 'shell ginger' seeds, to be delivered upon receipt of payment. Note that the buyer pays $4.95 postage & handling.
