What customers say
Customers highly value Logee's for the exceptional quality and careful packaging of the Beehive Ginger starter plants. Specimens consistently arrive robust and healthy, ready for growth. The main attraction is the plant's unique architectural beehive bloom, which delights collectors. While the plant shows great vigor when tropical conditions are met, patience is essential. Some new growers note the ginger can be slow to establish or enter unexpected dormancy. Success heavily relies on replicating warm, humid environments. Despite a potentially higher initial cost, the superior quality of the stock justifies the price for specialized gardeners seeking this distinctive ornamental ginger.
