Why Grow Panax Ginger?
Panax Ginger is ideal for herbalists, home remedy makers, and adventurous gardeners. With lush, upright foliage and underground rhizomes packed with earthy, peppery aroma, it bridges the visual appeal of tropical ornamentals with the practical use of traditional herbal medicine.

Though not a true Panax or true Ginger in the strictest botanical sense, this hybrid shines in tea blends, tinctures, and homemade health tonics. Its roots are said to promote energy, digestion, and resilience to stress.

Growing Tips:

• Plant in warm, loose, well-draining soil with good organic matter.

• Keep moist, but never soggy — mulch helps retain even moisture.

• Dig rhizomes in fall, once foliage begins to yellow.

• Great in containers — bring inside before frost to continue growth.
