Zingiber mioga 'White Feather' (White Feather Ginger)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 7-10, at least 36" tall Origin: Japan

Zingiber mioga 'White Feather' is the reverse variegated form of Z. 'Dancing Crane". The 3' tall spikes emerge in late spring, adorned with 1' long x 2.5 wide green leaves, edged in creamy yellow that fades to creamy white. Expect a 5' wide patch in five years when growing in rich organic soils. Once the plants are established, they produce light yellow, orchid-like flowers at ground level in late summer and into fall. If you get hungry in the garden, they can be prepared as the perfect snack. Zingiber mioga is a great textural plant for light shade gardens and continues to surprise gardeners with its amazing winter hardiness. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
