    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Spectabile have large cone shaped inflorescences and foliage approaching 7'. They are an evergreen species so must be protected in zone 8. They do well in large containers. 'Glowing Orb' has the largest cones of any ginger I have seen! They are the most incredible orange that really does appear to glow in sunlight. These are very new and rare.
