General Information

Inflorescence

The Zingiber spectabile
, Chocolate Beehive Ginger produces an oval chocolate brown inflorescence.  Most people think of the chocolate bracts as the bloom, but the true flower are small white flowers that eventually poke out of the bracts as they age. 

The inflorescences grow in 1 to 2 ft. stalks straight from the ground and are very easy to cut. They are often called "microphones" or "maracas" for good reason.

Please review the Zingiberales Planting and Caring page for additional information.
