I really liked my plant called ginger something. It has beautiful variegated green foliage. Well, had.-- Now it is all yellow and freeze-fried.
So do I go out there and apologize and cut it off almost to the ground and water it and do a little c'mon spring dance? Or do I just take a shovel to it?
I was having an attitude like -- Make it or don't. Let's see what you're made of.
Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa.

LUCKY LAURIE! Ginger is root hardy.
Though that popular ver. variety is tender to cold, and not root hardy if the tuberous root freezes. Pretty sure you're ok.
Yes, cut it low as possible (after the last frost). If you have stones for mulch, push it back and keep it bare till it pops up.
