My friend Martina has a DARK GREEN THUMB. She grew this Butterfly Ginger. It is called butterfly ginger because it resembles a butterfly.

It’s technical name is Hedychium Coronarium and it is the most fragrant of all gingers. Having this plant in your home is better than any air freshener you can buy!
They need light shade, soil that is high in organic matter and must be kept moist at all times. It’s not uncommon to have the pot submerged to the crown in water. Ginger is a tropical plant so even a light freeze will kill it so make sure to bring it in for the winter.

Ginger essential oils are great for Headaches, Arthritis and Nausea as well as Digestive Issues.
Here are a few more photos from Martina’s garden.
