A strange question.
I know that ginger is usually propagated from rootstock.
However, does Zingiber Officinale (edible ginger) produce
viable seeds? I know they produce flowers, but planting
seeds is never mentioned.
Thanks a lot for the answer,
To the best of my knowledge, it is only grown in the tropics.

I have access to some land in the tropics. Which is why
I'm asking - growing from seed would be a lot cheaper
than buying rootstock.

No seed and sold out.
This is a different plant, Zingiber mioga not Zingiber officinale.
