Growing Information and Requirements: Shampoo Ginger thrives in zones 7-11, making it ideal for many regions with moderate to warm climates. This perennial plant has a short growing season from spring to summer. Due to its dormant period in the cooler months (fall to spring), it can be grown in pots and easily moved indoors or outdoors depending on the season.

Care Instructions and Maintenance: These rhizomes require minimal care once established. Make sure the plant is in well-draining soil and placed in a spot with partial to full sun. Water regularly but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent rot. During its dormancy in cooler months, reduce watering and allow the plant to rest.

Value Proposition and Unique Benefits: The Shampoo Ginger Rhizomes not only add unique beauty to your garden with their elegant blooms but also serve practical purposes. The clear, thick fluid from the bloom can be used as a natural shampoo, and the root’s healing properties can support gastric health. These versatile plants are also great for landscaping and cut flower arrangements, making them a valuable addition to your garden or home decor.
