I am in Zone 8a (Columbia, SC). Can I grow gingers outside all year around? Do you have any tips on growing gingers in Zone 8a?

My sis in law grows ginger in Columbia SC. No prob. She lets it come up in the compost bin in dappled shade to protect it from the heat. If you want to keep it all year, you'll have to pot it up and move it inside we'll ahead of freezing temperatures. That can be very different from year to year.

Gardenate doesn't recommend growing it anytime in your climate zone.Probably too cold.
