What’s A Low Perennial I Can Plant With Ginger?

Question

I have an island of soil near the front of my house between the front stoop front sidewalk and driveway and I’ve started some ginger in it because I believe it will help keep the ginger from growing into the front lawn. I am also looking for some other low growing perennial plants that I could put near it but I don’t see anything in the companion plants that would look right in the front yard (I have an hoa so I want to steer clear of things that aren’t also visually nice with lower upkeep needs) and I am looking for suggestions. Thank you for helping me.

Answer 1

8b is correct on the hardiness zone. Calla lilies would be hardy in your zone and have attractive foliage and blooms. Plants with colorful foliage include caladiums, coral bells. Another possibility is hellebore but it might need more shade. These articles should help:
