I may have to look in to that. I've only ever attempted to grow
culinary ginger and it only does well with LOTS of water, and only
tried to bloom once. The bloom failed. :-(

I need drought resistant plants. The Lantana is doing rather well and
survived a solid 3 months with no watering. Looked very unhappy, but
it lived. So did the canna and all of my desert herbals. (Mexican
Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary and Sage).


They do like a little bit of water, not so much of a problem here.
