Family: Commelinaceae

Blue ginger is an herbaceous plant with smooth leaves growing spirally on a fleshy stem. The terminal spike is large and bright blue with a yellow center that is suitable for use as a cut flower, although they aren’t long-lasting in a vase.

Blue ginger will grow in full sun. However, the color and vigor are better when it has some shade. The striking, beautiful flowers are long-lasting and eye-catching, a perfect addition to the garden—propagate vegetatively from cuttings.
