Hi,

Here is a picture of my ginger after my gardener hacked it to death (grrrr). It was blocking a sliding glass door, so it needed to be done, but I would have preferred to wait until after the blooms had finished. Oh well, my bad for not communicating well enough...

I would like to divide the rhizome since it is outgrowing this bed. Is now a good time since the plant doesn't look that great anyway? Or is it best to wait until the fall?

Thanks a bunch, Christina
