Pink or Red Ginger [Alpinia purpurata]

Product Description

Aloha! I’m the Red or Pink Ginger — also known as Alpinia purpurata. With my tall, vibrant flower spikes and glossy green leaves, I bring year-round tropical beauty to your home or garden. I’ve become a staple in Hawaiian floral arrangements and symbolize hospitality, elegance, and joy.

I grow tall — up to 6 feet — and my vibrant bracts bloom like torches in the foliage. My foliage alone is striking, but when I bloom, I turn heads. I’m great for large containers, patios, or sunny corners indoors. Just give me some filtered light and humidity, and I’ll shine!

Whether you’re starting with plantlets, 2-inch, or 4-inch potted plants — I adapt quickly and grow beautifully with the right care.
