Common Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is the familiar culinary ginger grown for its aromatic, pungent rhizomes used worldwide as a spice and medicine. A tropical herbaceous perennial, it produces reed-like stems with narrow leaves and cone-like spikes of small, yellow-green flowers with purple lips — though rarely seen in cultivation. Grown in warm, humid shade; rhizomes harvested after 8-10 months.
