Red Pinecone Ginger / Shampoo Ginger / Zingiber zerumbet #3 SIZE - See Size Description Below 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. Bloom emerges 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. I have 4 different offerings. 1 – Rhizomes only – FIVE rhizomes– all top growth will be removed and plant will re-generate from the rhizome. $20.00 Including Shipping 2 – 12 inch tall plant – plant is growing in a one gallon pot and green top growth is at least 12 inches from the bottom of the pot. $25.00 Including Shipping 3 – 24 inch tall plant – plant is growing in a one gallon pot and green growth is at least 24 inches from the bottom of the pot. $30.00 Including Shipping 4 – 36 to 48 inch plant – plant is growing in a one to two gallon pot and green growth is at least 36 inches (many are 48 inches) from the bottom of the pot. If taller than 36 inches, I will try to bend the top growth over into the box, but if it breaks, I will cut back. My tallest box for ginger is 36 inches. $35.00 Including Shipping If you want to see my listing for my other sizes - close to the top, right hand side of this page under "Seller Information" click on "see other items" and scroll down to see the additional sizes of the Red Pinecone Ginger.
