Description
Zingiber Ginger by D Hackett
Zingiber contains the true gingers, plants grown the world over for their medicinal and culinary value. Ginger. The plants grow to about 4 to 7 ft tall with long narrow leaves arranged oppositely along the stem. In mid to late summer, separate stalks grow out of the ground with green cone-shaped bracts that resemble pinecones. The green cone turns red over a couple of weeks and then small creamy yellow flowers appear on the cone. In some locales this plant is known as the pinecone ginger, but it is most widely known as the shampoo ginger for the creamy liquid substance in the cones. The roots are used for a variety of medicinal purposes.
