5 Rhizomes (Yes FIVE!) Red Pinecone Ginger / and similar items

Red Pinecone Ginger / Shampoo Ginger / Zingiber zerumbet 5 Mature Rhizomes! A unique tropical looking perennial (hardy from zones 8 to 11, though some sources state zone 7) with a pinecone shaped red bloom. Plant will grow in height from 4 to 7 feet and spread in width to 3 feet wide. Blooms emerge in late spring, maturing in summer to a bright red and remain red until the plant goes dormant in the late fall. This ginger is also called a “Shampoo Ginger” as the sap from the bloom can be used as a hair shampoo and conditioner. While I have not used it myself, I give my neighbor the blooms and she swears by it’s hair conditioning properties – she freezes the sap for the times of year when it is not available fresh. The rhizomes will be shipped bare root and moisture packed for shipment. If you have any issue with the plant, please let me know within 24 hours of receipt, along with a picture and I will work with you to ensure your satisfaction. Shipments to Hawaii and Alaska require a shipping increase – please contact prior to purchase with your zip code and I will provide the best rates that I can. No shipments to Arizona.
