aka Indian Head, Bitter Ginger, Shampoo Ginger, Red Pine Cone. Listing is for plant not rhizomes.

This Ginger gets pinecone shaped inflorescence at end of stem with bright red bracts. Flowers are of creamy - peach color are tube shaped and emerge generally one at a time. The spirally arranged red bracts form a pinecone shape from summer through fall here in Florida and last for weeks holding bright color. A tropical, subtropical plant grows in rich humus well-draining soil, from sunny to partial shaded conditions with lots of summer rains. Planted in Florida grows 4 to +6 feet will grow shorter in pot. Is cold hardy in zones 9 - 11 however should be covered well in 8 - 9 during winter months or potted and brought in doors as can freeze. Indoors place in large pot, bright filtered light, window south or west side. When lightly squeeze a clear fragrant jell oozes from cone that can be used as shampoo, thus aka shampoo ginger. There are many let's say varieties with cone being pinker to salmon or golden. This one is bright red.

First three pics show mature large clump of Ginger growing in 3 gal pot. The next two pics show plant in 1 gal pot which is size and similar to plant you will receive, pot not included. Item of listing is a small clump 2 - 3 stems similar to plants in last two photos. Plant at tallest point will be about 16 - 20" and I will always send with at least one plant in bud when available during flowering time. Plants will be shipped bare root.
