• Article number: ZINMIO01

Zingiber mioga also called Myoga or Japanese ginger is a hardy ginger with many good properties. This perennial is a special exotic and should not be missed in your garden.
This edible ginger originates from Japan, China and South Korea.
The Zingiber mioga blooms in summer with pale yellow exotic flowers that have a violet glow.
The flowers and buds are edible, as are the shoots / sprouts, petioles and leaves.

These are very tasty and the aroma is between garlic and a mild ginger flavor.
Low to the ground near the stems, the flowers with buds appear in September.
The flower buds are often harvested just before they open. These can be sliced thin and are delicious to use in soup, wok and Asian dishes.
Eating Japanese ginger also offers resistance to colds.

The plants are 100/130 cm high and have beautiful, fresh green elongated leaves.
It is a deciduous ginger in winter and dies off completely above ground. Plants supplied by us in the winter have no foliage. The new shoots appear again in the spring.

The plant can be kept in the garden in a place that is not too wet, but also great as a tub plant. As a container plant, overwinter frost-free. In the open ground, in a moderate or severe winter, a small layer of old leaves or garden waste can possibly be placed above the rhizomes.
This is the hardiest edible ginger available.
Winter hardiness zone 6b (-18ºC).
