|| Thanks, Barbara.
|| By 'some' shade, what would you consider optimum, and what minimal?
|| Thanks
||
|| Once again, my experience only.......no afternoon sun, some morning, dappled
|| all day (seems to be the optimum).
|| I have a couple of varieties in total shade, they are growing, but not all
|| that well, then again, nothing is doing all that well in my garden this
|| year, the bore water is starting to burn the foliage on just about
|| everything, due to not having rain water interspersed with the bore water.

Thanks muchly!

|| Does anyone know which varieties of ginger will grow in full sun? My

||
|| Can only speak from my own experience..........
|| Some of the older varieties such as the blue one will grow in full sun, but
|| they always look ratty, with burnt leaves etc.
|| To have them looking their best they do need some shade.

Thanks, Barbara.
