| I was given an ornamental ginger which has grown well in a large planter outdoors, but I have no idea of how to save it for next year. Does it go dormant? Can I store it bare-rooted with my amaryllis in the basement? Pot it up and keep it growing?
Any advice will be appreciated! Rick in CT |

| Do you know what type of ornamental ginger it is? Do the leaves look like a corn stalk? Are they are dull green or shinny green? Or are the leaves pleated? Do the leaves a a fragrant when crushed? Depends on what kind it is whether you can dig and store the rhizome. Or if the have a natually dormancy. You can send a photo I may could ID it for you. |
