When I purchased this ginger, it was represented as edible ginger.
In the past I've grown grocery store ginger and this plant was similar in form. After having grown this plant for a couple of years now, I am curious as to what type of ginger it might be.
I had it in a container where it became root bound. I decided to divide and plant it in a raised bed. I found the roots had never developed the ginger palms.
The plant is small, only 12 inches tall. The foliage is incredibly fragrant when you brush against it.
When I divided and replanted I took two stems and leaves, chopped and brewed to see what type of tea it would make. The tea had a delightful rosy color but the aroma was too weak after brewing.
This got me to wondering exactly what ginger I do have
This third photo is of the roots (no rhizomes) but was not the best photo for clarity.
Hoping someone can provide some suggestions on this odd little ginger. Thanks ~ Kristi
