Our Ginger plants are sprouted rhizomes, ready to be planted out in your garden and provide endless amounts of fresh Ginger for the years to come.

Ginger is widely used as a spice and a folk medicine. It is a herbaceous perennial which grows annual pseudostems about 1m tall bearing narrow leaf blades. The rhizomes will continue to multiple within the earth, providing you with an endless source of it's medicinal benefits.

Gingerol, a natural component of ginger root, benefits gastrointestinal motility, the rate at which food exits the stomach and continues along the digestive process. Eating ginger encourages efficient digestion, so food doesn't linger as long in the gut, and it a wonderful source for nausea relief.

Ginger purchased from the local supermarket can be used to grow a plant, but with spotty results. Grocery store ginger is often sprayed with a growth inhibitor to keep it from sprouting before it's purchased. That inhibitor also keeps it from sprouting when you stick it in a pot of soil.

We strongly recommended to select Express Post shipping for all plant orders to minimise the transit time.
