• Although shell gingers won't bloom following a winter with freezing temperatures, the lush, new foliage that pops up in spring makes an attractive accent or screen, if the clump is allowed to expand.
• Notables in this group include the purple ladder ginger ( Alpinia luteocarpa ), with its thickly clumped stems and slender leaves with maroon-red undersides, and the variegated shell ginger ( Alpinia sanderae variegata ) whose narrow leaves, which can reach to two feet, are white and green with white margins.
