The following gingers are rated for zone 7a. I'm using written sources and can't say from actual experience since I'm zone 9. Some will bloom on new growth, some will only bloom on second year growth. On those that bloom on second year growth, you will most likely never see a bloom:
Alpinia Formosana, Alpinia Nutans, Alpinia Zerumbet, Alpinia Zerumbet Variegated, Curcuma Petiolata, Curcuma Elata, Hedychium Coronarium(I'd try this one first, very fragrant flowers) and numerous other Hedychium gingers. Google Hedychium gingers. Steve |
