NO probably. Work out what CLIMATE ZONE you are, then check the planting guide. Read all the article here about growing it.

I have been growing ginger in large pots the last couple of years. I plant once we are safe from frost then keep in a sunny position... somewhere that you don’t forget to water. It is slow to come up but does eventually. I stop watering in Autumn and move pots to the deck if frosts are likely. Harvest in winter as you need it. I take everything out mid winter and store in straw in a polystyrene box. Here in the granite belt we get enough sun but way too cold in winter for Ginger, as would be Tasmania

1. I have a couple of flourishing plants that I think are ginger flowers: tall, broad leaves, candle-like reddish flowers. If this is ginger is there an edible part to this plant? Thanks. 2. I have long wondered why, with Gardenate's climate-zones, 'Subtropical" is South of Rockhampton Qld AU and 'Tropical' is around Airlie Qld AU and cuts across to WA AU but thete is no actual zoning North of Rockampton to Mackay. Other garden zoning publishers (viz magazines, media et al.,) also omit the same area. Rather odd if not confusing for any gardeners in that no-zone?

I would like to start farming ginger. (Gardenate says This site is intended for home gardeners - contact your local agricultural advisor for farming advice)
