We got this ginger a year or so ago, I forgot when. I think it was Escondido vegetable market special.

Don't know what to do with it, does it like full sun? It's in a very shady spot right now. Should I cut back the stems down to the ground or is it too late for that? We have a lot of yellow gingers of a common variety growing wild in our yard, we cut them down very low every fall and they spring back like mad in the spring and summer. So would we treat this one the same way?

I do know it has absolutely AWESOME yellow blooms but it looks terrible right now.
WWDD? (what would Dave do?)
