Comments:
A very striking ginger that is probably over planted. Will not flower following winter kill of the foliage to the ground. Makes an excellent foliage for floral arrangements. Plants cannot tolerate hard freezes. Is a high contrast specimen in nearly any planting combination because of the bright yellow color in the variegated foliage.
