Alpinia

8 cultivars

Alpinia is a genus of robust, tropical gingers renowned for their striking architectural presence, bold foliage, and spectacular floral displays. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, these plants develop dense clumps of leafy, upright-to-arching pseudostems that bring lush texture to landscapes, large containers, and greenhouse environments. Depending on the species, Alpinia offers a variety of ornamental features, from the vibrant, long-lasting red and pink floral bracts of Alpinia purpurata to the pendulous, shell-like blooms and vibrant variegated leaves of Alpinia zerumbet. Thriving in warm, humid climates with filtered light and consistent moisture, Alpinia gingers are highly valued as dramatic focal points or lush background plantings in shade gardens and subtropical landscapes.
