How to grow
The most cold tolerant of the gingers, plant in dappled light and protect from severe frost. Improve soil with compost and decomposed manure prior to planting. While Japanese ginger likes a moist soil, it is best to plant in a free-draining soil and water regularly as waterlogging should be avoided, especially during winter. Divide as required in spring and early summer. Apply a light application of organic fertiliser annually in spring.
