Alpinia Zerumbet Variegata - 20cm

Alpinia zerumbet Variegata is a lush tropical ginger grown for broad green leaves striped and splashed with creamy yellow tones. Its upright clumping growth creates a strong foliage feature in subtropical gardens, sheltered courtyards and large containers, where the variegation helps brighten areas with filtered light. Mature clumps can develop an attractive layered look and work well as a backdrop to lower tropical foliage. It is primarily valued for foliage rather than flowers in retail landscapes, and it performs best with warmth, moisture and protection from cold winds or hard frost.
