I'm in cairns and it grows pretty good here, as long as it has good drainage. I keep mine in a pot, and they say it doesn't like full sun but mine grows well in it. You should be able to grow it from a piece you buy at the supermarket:)

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

I grow it in the Bellinger Valley, south of Coffs Harbour and near the coast, Daniel, it should be fine where you are.

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.

Does ginger tolerate winter frost and extreme summer heat?
