If you enjoy tending the land and savoring what it gives back, Edible Ginger is a living invitation to put down roots and bring rich, spicy-sweet flavor straight from your soil to your stove. This tropical ginger plant is prized for its aromatic, culinary-grade rhizomes—the kind that elevate cooking, brighten teas, and fill your kitchen with warm, comforting fragrance. Fresh ginger from your own garden tastes different: cleaner, brighter, and alive with the character of the land that raised it.

Growing in lush, upright clumps of green, lance-shaped leaves, ginger adds a touch of the tropics to patios, garden beds, and container sanctuaries. It thrives outdoors in warm climates, and in cooler regions it settles happily into a pot that can shift indoors for winter protection, letting you grow where you’re planted no matter the weather. With 8–10 months to harvest, this plant rewards patience with plump, fragrant rhizomes. If you prefer something tender and mild, you can lift baby ginger earlier in the season—another simple pleasure from your own soil.

For gardeners who love the blend of beauty, usefulness, and land stewardship, Edible Ginger is one of the most rewarding, easy-care culinary plants you can raise at home.

Spacing Plant rhizomes 6–8 inches apart; rows 12–16 inches apart
Pruning Remove dead stems/leaves as needed
Fertilization Do not fertilize at planting. Once the trees are established, fertilize in early spring (Mar-April) as growth begins. Do not fertilize in the fall, which could promote late season tender growth that can be damaged by early frosts.
Watering Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods. Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center.

At Chestnut Hill Outdoors, we’ve been shipping mail order trees for over 30 years. We’re experts at delivering healthy trees to your doorstep. All of our trees are container grown in root-enhancing pots, ensuring healthy root systems and much better success upon planting. 

In Spring we ship bare-root, dormant trees. All plants are dipped in a root gel before shipping and wrapped in plastic to retain moisture.

Spring: All trees are shipped bare-root.
Fall: All trees are shipped in containers.
