Default Variegated ginger
Does anyone have any experience with variegated ginger in their landscaping? It is readily available in the area and from my online research, it appears to be at least root hardy here. We like it because of its tropical appearance. However, I have concerns about its ultimate size. I see pictures of it being 6 feet tall which is much too high for the appication I am looking for. I'm wondering if it only gets to that height in warmer climates where it does not die back in the winter. Anybody have it? How big does it get? Any drawbacks?
