Variegated Ginger
Variegated Ginger (Alpinia zerumbet ‘Variegata’), also commonly known as shell ginger, is a tropical plant valued for its upright growth and bold green leaves striped with creamy yellow. Commonly used as a screen, accent, or mass planting in North Florida landscapes, it adds texture and color in warm, protected areas.
Care Needs:

• Water: Moderate; water regularly and keep soil evenly moist but well-drained
