Shampoo ginger ( chocolate / red )

Shampoo Ginger (Zingiber zerumbet). As beautiful as it is functional, this unique ginger variety is celebrated around the world for its cosmetic and medicinal properties. A magical addition to any tropical garden or microclimate enthusiast. 

The rich chocolate-to-burgundy red bracts are filled with a thick, heavenly-scented liquid — nature’s own shampoo and soap. Gentle on skin and hair, with naturally occurring antibacterial properties, it’s been used for centuries across Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.

Growing tips:

• Compact grower reaching 1–3m — perfect for smaller garden spaces
• Flowers emerge from the base of the plant, below the foliage
• Prefers rich, well-draining soil that retains moisture in warmer months
• Thrives in subtropical to tropical climates
• Best positioned in partial shade to full sun
