Variegated Shell Ginger (Alpinia zerumbet 'Variegata')
Alpinia zerumbet 'Variegata', the variegated shell ginger, forms a bushy clump of long leaves striped in green and golden yellow. It brings a bright, tropical look to a large room.
It is supplied as a full plant in a Ø27 cm nursery pot, about 80 cm tall. Grown indoors it is kept for its leaves; flowering on houseplants is uncommon.
