Signal flower on the 3D and the first leaf breaking ground...this one is ALWAYS the last to emerge of all my Kaempferias

Another beauty Kaempferia are new to me. How hard is it to grow?

Not hard. It is a clumping type, but slow. I have a better photo I can take

Awesome. So is this the herb ginseng?

No, its a Kaempheria ginger. There is a species called gilbertii, and a much more colorful variety of that species called gilbertii 3D

This is the clump today. Its not a fast spreader. It can take several years to get a nice clump, because of course these are deciduous and go dormant in winter

Slow is good. That means you have room for more plants.
So these you can grow outside in FL? Nice variegation.

Yes we can grow all the Kaempferias, Curcumas, Hedychiums, most of the Alpinias, many of the Costus outside here. We cannot grow the Etlingeras in my zone reliably. There are some COstus and some Alpinia that are iffy here but most of them are fine.
