Growing edible ginger (root).

Question

Which varieties are edible. Does ginger bloom?

Answer 1

Not all varieties of ginger are edible. The best (and easiest) way to make sure you can eat your ginger is to plant a root you buy from the grocery store. Edible ginger will bloom, though it won't be as showy as its ornamental cousins.
