Variegated Shell Ginger (Alpinia zerumbet ‘Variegata’)

Boldly patterned leaves are green with yellow stripes throughout. The variegation is unique, so no two leaves are alike. It makes an attractive container plant for northern zones or it’s winter hardy in zones 8-10 so it can be grown in outdoor landscapes. It blooms in the summer on old growth and produces cascading racemes of white, seashell-shaped flowers at the ends of the leafy stems. The flowers are lightly fragrant. Variegated Shell Ginger creates a colorful accent in any garden.
