@pamstyle555: #Ginger #Plant #Flower Here are some fun, accurate facts about #whiteginger (Hedychium coronarium) * 🤍 White ginger is not the same as culinary ginger. Although they’re in the same ginger family, white ginger is grown for its flowers—not for eating. * 🌸 Its large, fragrant white blooms are often called #butterflyginger because they resemble butterflies in flight. * 👃 The flowers have a sweet, jasmine-like fragrance that is strongest in the evening. * 🌿 White ginger spreads rapidly by underground rhizomes, allowing it to form dense colonies. * 🌴 In Hawaiʻi, white ginger is considered an invasive species because it crowds out native plants and alters forest habitats. * 📏 The plant typically grows 4–8 feet (1.2–2.4 meters) tall. * 🌺 Despite being invasive in Hawaiʻi, it’s still grown as an ornamental in many tropical and subtropical gardens around the world.
