When ordering most of our items in the order of the Zingiberales, you can choose between growing plants or the more economical bare-root rhizomes.
A growing plant will be a rhizome with a well developed root system and at least one initial growing stem. The root system will be packed in moist peat moss growing mix and can be planted directly into decorative pots or good soil outdoors.
A bare-root rhizome will have minimal root development and is packed with minimal humidity to prevent rot or fungus during travel. Rhizomes should be started in a one to two gallon pot with a good grade potting mix until one or more healthy stems are well developed.
When ordering one option or the other, select the quantity desired and then click "Add to Cart". If ordering both plants and rhizomes of the same item, please do so in separate steps. The order of the Zingiberales includes all our available plants in the following families:
- Heliconiaceae (Heliconia)
- Zingiberaceae (Ginger)
- Musaceae (Bananas)
- Strelitziaceae (Bird-of-Paradise)
- Costaceae (Costus)
- Cannaceae (Canna)
- Marantaceae (Prayer Plants)
- Lowiaceae
