Growing ginger in your garden is simple. You just need 1 piece of ginger root cut into smaller pieces to start your plant. It can take up to 15 days to see the root sprout and the plant start to grow. As the plant grows so does the starter root. The longer you leave your ginger the larger the root becomes. One great way to plant ginger is in pots. Each year the plant will die off but the root remains healthy. You can leave the root during the dormant season or harvest the root to use in your kitchen. If you want to have beautiful ginger flower around your yard it’s better to leave the root for 2 to 3 seasons. When the root starts to fill the pot, at this is the time you’ll see flowers on your ginger plants. Did you know ginger root is fantastic for your blood flow?
