How to Grow Ornamental Ginger
Most ginger plants are grown for their flowers and foliage for the ornamental/floristry market as opposed to their spicy rhizome. There are a few exceptions, like the edible ginger (Zingiber officinale) and the cardamom which are commercially grown for human consumption.
