Ginger - Potted plant
Native to the tropics and sub-tropics, ginger prefers a frost-free climate, although ginger can be grown in cooler areas in a protected part of the garden or in pots. Depending on your climate, ginger either prefers more shade (tropics) or more sun (cool and temperate areas), and is evergreen up north. Grow as an annual in cooler climates, planting in a frost free environment in spring and harvesting in winter.
