Blue ginger – Dichorisandra thyrsiflora

Exotic Blue Blooms for Shady Gardens

Blue Ginger is a lush, tropical perennial known for its stunning, deep-blue flowers and glossy green foliage. Despite its name, it is not a true ginger but shares similar growth habits. Blooming from late summer to autumn, Blue Ginger is perfect for shaded gardens, tropical landscapes, and indoor collections. This moisture-loving ornamental plant thrives in New Zealand’s subtropical and frost- free regions, adding a touch of exotic beauty to any space.
Care & Maintenance:

• Plant in partial to full shade with moist, well-draining soil.
• Water consistently to maintain high humidity, and mulch to keep roots cool. Protect from strong winds and frost—grow in pots or greenhouses in cooler climates like Wellington or Christchurch.
• Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushy growth.

Enhance your garden with this rare, shade-loving tropical plant that thrives in humid, sheltered environments!
