Description
Alpinia zerumbet ‘Variegata’, also known as Variegated Shell Ginger, is a striking ornamental ginger species known for its vibrant, variegated foliage and elegant floral display. This evergreen tropical perennial features long, arching leaves with bold yellow and green striations, adding a lush and exotic touch to any garden. As a bonus, when crushed, the foliage releases a pleasant, ginger-like fragrance.
In late spring and summer, mature plants produce cascading clusters of fragrant, shell-shaped white flowers with pink accents and a golden-yellow throat. These blooms not only add visual appeal but also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Alpinia zerumbet ‘Variegata’ prefers rich, well-draining soil and regular watering to maintain its lush appearance. It is highly adaptable to tropical and subtropical climates, making it an excellent choice for coastal gardens, tropical landscapes, and patio containers.
