Japanese ginger is a true ginger in the family, Zingiberaceae. It is native to Japan and a culinary herb. Only its edible flower buds and flavorful shoots are used in cooking. This is the hardiest of the gingers.
Zingiber mioga is a woodland plant and needs dappled shade for best growth. The plant grows from rhizomes and clumps up quickly in rich moist soil in shade with 3 foot green leafy stems and produces exotic small orchid-like creamy yellow flowers at ground level in late summer and fall. It is frost-tolerant to 0°F and possibly colder. Leaves die back in fall and re-sprout in spring. Plants may grow 3 to 4 feet when mature.
