Gingers have been around a long time and become increasingly popular with gardeners as time goes on. One of the nicest is the lovely little gem, Monocostus uniflora a ginger which stays small and can be grown in pots easily. It has a long blooming period with very charming dark lemon yellow flowers. It is a little tender to the cold, but can be protected easily enough, even if planted in the ground. Even if it is cut back from the cold, it will usually come back from a bad winter patch, though sometimes not as vigorously as before. It divides and propagates very easily. So what it comes down to is: what is there not to love about this tropical treasure?
