Shampoo Ginger Rhizome

Description

Bitter ginger (Zingiber zerumbet) is a tropical plant known for its pinecone-like flowers that produce a soapy, fragrant liquid used as a natural shampoo and conditioner, hence its common name “shampoo ginger.” Native to Asia, it’s a clumping perennial with leafy stems, and its rhizomes (underground stems) are used in traditional medicine and cooking, though they have a more bitter flavor than culinary ginger. It thrives in warm climates and can be grown as a houseplant or in containers.

This listing is for one 1″ bare root rhizome (not the cone or plant).
