Does ginger tolerate winter frost and extreme summer heat?

Karin, Ginger is a tropical / sub-tropical plant, so for best results I'd recommend trying to reproduce this climate as much as you can. In a desert or semi-desert climate they should be overwintered inside - they will probably die off if you expose them to anything worse than a very light frost. Over Summers, provided that you give them a sunny position sheltered from the extremes of heat and ensure they are watered frequently, you may find it is very productive for you. I'd wager that a spot that gets plenty of morning sun and afternoon dappled shade would be ideal.

Hi Daniel. We're on the Central Coast, NSW, & we successfully grow ginger over summer. It's died off now though, so we'll buy another piece from the supermarket next spring & start again.

Hi, we are in the Sydney Hills district. I assume if you have been successful, I can try too. Is it too late to plant now?

Collette, i live in the hills too and planted an old knob of ginger from woolies in a pot in October. It's only just started shooting now so yeah we can do it. How well it grows may be another issue.

Has any one grown ginger on the Northern Rivers of N.S.W with any luck. We have a sub-tropical climate zone.
