    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    We got this pretty evergreen Ginger from Woodlanders Nursery. Pretty, tropical-look foliage forms a nice clump 2-4’ high and wide. Yellow flower spikes bloom above the foliage, enjoys part shade to shade and moist, rich soil. Seed was collected in 1998 above Baoguo Monastery on the sacred mountain of ‘Emishan’ in Sichuan, China by Frank Bell. Thanks Frank!
