Ginger ID

17 years ago

Hi From Australia.

I have a wide variety of gingers, but one I am unable to identify. It grows to about 3 feet is evergreen, does not flower, has very heavily scented foliage when rubbed between your fngers. It was sold to me as "scented ginger". Goes extremely well in semi-shade to shade. Haven't tried part sun to full sun yet as I have just moved approx 1000 miles and am revitilising my stock.

Can anyone help me with the ID of this ginger?

sounds like the one in my garden I have as "false cardamom". Can you post a photo?

Perhaps Buderim Ginger (in Queensland, Australia) could help out?
