Alpinia caerulea

An attractive native Australian ginger from the rain forests of the East Coast, just north of Sydney to the tropical north tip of the Cape York peninsula. It has a lovely lush foliage of long green leaves with red undersides and produces fragrant white flowers and blue berries. Both berries and roots can be eaten and have a mild ginger flavour. Great for mass plantings under trees in a shaded position or can be used as an indoor plant.
