And while it is not actually a ginger, it is named so due to its resemblance to the ginger family. It forms tight, highly decorative clumps in the garden or in a pot. And flowers for around six months through summer and autumn. Large, beautiful blue purple flower spikes put on a great show, and are very long lasting. They love a rich well drained soil. A good quality potting mix is perfect. Or enrich your garden soil with compost and some rock minerals. They grow well in most parts of Australia and are quite cold tolerant, but need protection from frosts. Reaching a mature height of approx 1.5m.
