Alpinia zerumbet variegata Details

Alpinia zerumbet variegata, commonly known as Variegated Shell Ginger, this is an herbaceous perennial grown for its foliage and pretty flowers.

In cold environments it may die back but during winter but will regenerate from storage roots once the temperature warms. It is tolerant of coastal environments provided there is good wind protection. Alpinia zerumbet variegata is commonly used for shady areas, tropical gardens, or grown anywhere a lush and beautiful plant is required. It also makes for a great indoor plant.
