On the hunt for plants that tell the story of lush, tropical adventure? Try using tropical Variegated Shell Ginger (Alpinia zerumbet 'Variegata') as a starring role in your landscape design or seasonal container gardens.
It's best known for producing two foot long, lance-shaped leaves that are streaked here and there with alternating bands of green and gold. Super lush, two toned leaves work to instantly brighten your landscape.
In warmer zones where it can overwinter, delicate fragrant white flower clusters grow along shell pink racemes. Seemingly delicate flowers offer blaze yellow and red on the inside for a spark of additional interest.
Use Variegated Shell Ginger as a houseplant or annual in colder climates or as a "thriller" in lavish containers. Where it's hardy, this can be used as a luscious screening hedge for privacy. Pair it with deeper foliage and sultry pops of sunset pink, blood orange or scarlet colored flowers.
You'll love your experience with this steamy foliage plant. Place your order now to reserve the best selection.
