Ginger is a must-have for anyone who enjoys Asian cuisine or natural remedies, and it's surprisingly easy to grow at home. Whether as a houseplant or in a greenhouse or conservatory, it yields a fresh harvest of ginger roots every autumn. Homegrown ginger has a more robust flavour compared to store-bought varieties and features a thin, easily removable skin, making it simple to prepare for cooking. This tropical plant is not only rewarding to grow but will continue to produce year after year. Height: 1m (39in). Spread: 50cm (20in).
