Taylors Bulbs Ginger Zingiber Officinale

Details:

• Popular spice for medicinal and culinary purposes.
• Can be grown in the greenhouse, in beds or in containers.
• Ginger grows best in warm environments, so a greenhouse or conservatory is ideal.
• The root can be planted whole into well-drained soil, or cut into pieces - if cutting into pieces, ensure each piece has two to three 'eyes'.
• Plant into a seed tray, covering with 2cm of compost and watering well.
• Once roots and shoots develop after a few weeks, plant in a sunny spot in the garden or into a container. Plants should be approximately 45cm apart.
• After planting, keep the soil damp but don't over-water.
• Harvest can take place after four months by digging up the root, but the taste is best if harvested eight to ten months after planting instead.
