Alpinia zerumbet variegata Details

Alpinia zerumbet variegata, commonly known as Variegated Shell Ginger, this is an herbaceous perennial grown for its foliage and pretty flowers. It features large and glossy leaves which are variegated green and yellow. In summer, masses of small, white flowers with a red throat are borne on short stems. These are a fantastic addition to an already lovely plant. It typically grows to 1.5 m tall and the same wide, growing best in partial shade through full shade conditions on a well-drained site. In cold environments it may die back but during winter but will regenerate from storage roots once the temperature warms. It is tolerant of coastal environments provided there is good wind protection. Alpinia zerumbet variegata is commonly used for shady areas, tropical gardens, or grown anywhere a lush and beautiful plant is required. It also makes for a great indoor plant.
