 o
red ginger

Posted by jerisgarden 9 (My Page) on

Could someone please tell me the name of the "red" ginger that are used in florist's arrangements. I would like to try to grow in my garden, but don't know the name of it.
I grow gobs of white butterfly ginger, have pinecone ginger. This past year I bought a pink ginger that I thought was like what the florists use, but it is a "hidden ginger". I want the long red, pink, or yellow flowers.
Thanks for your help.

Alpinia purpurata? Google for an image & see if this is what your looking for. If it is, I have some if you want to trade.
