I have over a hundred Gingers in my yard, I may have lost some that were not well established in the last freeze 9F but most are just fine. I don't understand why so many people think Gingers are so tender. The only Gingers I find in local nurserys is the Variegated Shell Ginger. I asked a lady at Herris Nursery if they had any Gingers other than the Shell Gingers and she said they won't grow here. She was shocked to hear I had over 100 at that time.
