The plant grows from thick, fleshy rhizomes and produces bold, paddle-shaped leaves arranged in a graceful spiral around each stem, creating an architectural look in warm-climate gardens and large containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSpiral Ginger is grown primarily for its ornamental value in tropical and subtropical landscapes, where its lush, upright form works well as a backdrop planting, around water features, or in large patio pots. It prefers warmth, consistent moisture, and bright filtered light, and it spreads slowly by rhizome to form a full clump over time. In cooler zones it can be grown in containers and overwintered indoors or lifted before frost.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Costus speciosus\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Spiral Ginger\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Tropical perennial (rhizomatous)\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Upright, clumping, spiraling stems\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Rich, moist, well-drained\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 9-11 (grown as container plant in cooler zones)\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Sow seed in warm, moist, well-drained medium; keep consistently warm\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow, lightly cover, keep moist and warm\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 24-36 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Allow rhizomes room to spread; water regularly during active growth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663249178760,"sku":"EXGA-784","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_a1132602-0933-455a-b21a-0c83b40dfb4a.png?v=1791896253","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-costus-speciosus-spiral-ginger-tropical-ornamental","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
