Ginger

Scientific Name:
Zingiber officinale

Ginger is a flowering plant celebrated for its aromatic, spicy rhizomes, widely used as a culinary spice and in traditional medicine for its anti-inflammatory and digestive properties. It thrives in warm, humid climates with well-drained, fertile soil and partial to full sunlight. Ginger produces unique yellow-green flowers that attract pollinators like bees, supporting local ecosystems. Its low-maintenance nature and versatile applications make it a valuable addition to herb gardens and agricultural systems.
