Ginger in Temperate Australia. Although not truly suited to temperate areas ginger and Galangal can be grown. I've had a small bed of both for 3 years which produces a small crop for the kitchen each year. I grow in sandy well drained soil and the bed is surrounded on 3 sides (fence/shed) - northern aspect open. I suspect this and the deep mulching I give it over winter helps it survive the frosts. Go on , give it a go.

Hello, I planted some ginger plants on May 2010 (last yr), i haven't harvest them to date (May 2011). The plants have die but the ginger is still in the ground. What i will like to know is if i left them there would they resprout? If yes, how long will it take to resprout? Thank you

Can ginger be commercially grown in hot houses in NZ?

Has anyone tried to grow ginger? I think I'll just get some from the supermarket and give it go.
