Ginger
Zingiber officinale
Description: Ginger is a tropical perennial herb treasured for its aromatic, knobby rhizomes and lush, lance-shaped green leaves. Known for its warm, spicy flavor and incredible health benefits, Ginger is a staple in culinary and medicinal gardens. Easy to grow in containers or well-drained garden beds, this versatile plant adds beauty and utility to any space.
Wildlife Benefits: While primarily grown for its rhizomes, Ginger’s small, yellow-green flowers can attract beneficial insects, adding subtle ecological value to your garden.
Medicinal Benefits: Revered in traditional medicine, Ginger is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. Commonly used to soothe nausea, boost immunity, and reduce inflammation, its fresh or dried roots can be brewed into teas, added to recipes, or used in tinctures for natural wellness.
Native Status: Native to Southeast Asia, Ginger thrives in warm, humid climates and can adapt well to Georgia’s growing conditions with proper care.
Pollinator Friendliness: Although its flowers are not its primary feature, Ginger can still contribute to a garden’s ecosystem by supporting pollinators with its occasional blooms.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 2–4 feet
Spacing: 12–18 inches
Sun/Shade: Thrives in Partial Shade to Full Sun
How to Grow: Ginger prefers rich, well-draining soil and regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist. Plant rhizomes in spring after the last frost, and ensure they’re covered with 1–2 inches of soil. Harvest ginger roots after 8–10 months, leaving some rhizomes behind to encourage regrowth for the next season.
Bring warmth, flavor, and wellness to your garden with Ginger—a beautiful and functional herb that’s as rewarding to grow as it is to use.
Available in 4.25 inch (quart) pots with 3-4 rhizomes (ginger roots) per pot
