Round Root Galangal - Kaempferia rotunda NEW

Description: Round Root Galangal (Kaempferia rotunda), also known as Peacock Ginger, is an attractive perennial herb grown from rhizomes that forms beautiful variegated leaves and crocus-like flowers emerging after dormancy and is suited to tropical and subtropical climates. The young leaves of the plant can be eaten raw or cooked, and its round edible root tubers are spicy and hot like regular galangal, making them useful as a flavourful ingredient in cooking; the plant remains evergreen, tolerates moderate watering and good drainage, can be grown in pots, and may handle light frost in some areas.
