Laska ginger rhizome

Also known as Bunga Kantan. Celebrated across Southeast Asia for its culinary versatility, this torch ginger variety is a must-have for food lovers and tropical garden enthusiasts alike.

The tightly closed buds are prized in the kitchen — slice them lengthwise and add the petals to laksa, salads, stews, and aromatic broths for a distinctive floral flavour. Left to open on the plant, they unfurl into gorgeous pale pink blooms with a rich, deeper pink centre. A duel purpose plant built for the most magical gardens.

Growing tips:

• Thrives in tropical and subtropical climates
• Prefers rich, moist, well-draining soil
• Plant in a sheltered position with indirect to full sun
• Fast-growing — expect impressive height and lush green foliage
