This ginger is grown as a foliage annual in north Texas. The golden variegation of the long tropical leaves lends drama to the shade garden. Alpinia grows best in rich, moist, well drained soil. It will not bloom in north Texas, but can perennialize in mild winters.
Variegated Shell Ginger will flower after the second year. The flowers droop as waxy white or ivory buds, opening to reveal yellow lips with pink or red marked throats.
