Ginger, Variegated
(Alpinia zerumbet)
Needs a little babying—plenty of moisture and good organic soil—but variegated ginger will reward you with big splashes of cream and gold variegation in a shady border. Although the light pink flowers are not fragrant like other gingers, the foliage gives off a sweet scent when crushed. (Photo: Top Tropicals)
