I've had pretty good success with Ginger on the 9a/9b border. I'm more inland and my property is fairly protected from a lot of wind.

If you want to grow ginger in Zone 5, you will need to plant it in a container and keep it indoors over winter, since ginger plants are not frost hardy.

The guide here says it won't grow in your climate zone.

I have at this time of season ( April ) a small sprouting ginger root. I believe it is not the right time of season to plant it into my vegetable garden. What am I going to do with this root? Please advise. I am living in Cape town with winter rains. I really would also appreciate directions how to plant it best. Thank you very much for your helpful advise. Looking forward to your response. Kind regards, Heidi

You could maybe plant it in a pot and protect it from excess rain, then plant out in the spring.

I m trying to grow some store-bought ginger suspended over water half in and half out. It has some nice looking knobs but so far has not sprouted after almost 2 months. Should I give up or put it in the ground or just cook it. Haha.

Ginger is usually sprayed with a growth inhibitor so it doesn't shoot up (if store-bought). Soak for 24 hours in water and rinse off. Then plant nice plump pieces of it. They are a slow grower so about eight to ten months.

Can you grow ginger from shop bought ginger in the supermarket?
