Alpinia caerulea ‘Purple Form', known
as the Atherton Native Ginger, Red Back Ginger or Purple Native Ginger,
is a clumping plant and consists of soft, thick stems arising from an
underground rhizome. This plant differs from the usual ginger by having
purple-backed leaves. It is native to Australia.
The large bright green leaves are up to 400 mm long and are purple/red on the undersides.
The plant grows to about 1-2 metres high, prefers plenty of water, and likes some shade.
The white flowers are followed by round blue fruits to 15 mm in spikes on the ends of the stems.
Can be grown successfully in pots. Prefers a frost-free climate.
For sale is a packet of 30 seeds.
ALL SEED PACKAGES COME WITH A SET OF SEED PROPAGATION INSTRUCTIONS.
Combined Postage/Shipping:
If
you purchase multiple packets of seeds then they will be posted/shipped
in the cheapest envelope or parcel rate available. What you pay is what
Australia Post charges me, plus a small handling fee to cover packing
materials. Final postage total does depend on the seed varieties
purchased as some species have larger/heavier seeds than others so cost
more to post. I don't automatically charge extra for each purchase and
in many cases a number of packets of seeds can be posted/shipped for
just the one initial postage charge.
To
get combined postage just make each purchase on Ebay but don't press
the 'Pay Now' button after each purchase. Once you have finished buying,
then press the 'Pay Now' button and an option appears at the top that
says 'Request Total'. Press this one and I then get an email to tell me
to combine the items into one invoice for combined postage. I then send
you a final invoice for payment.
Payment Options:
Australian buyers: Paypal, Bank Deposit or Money Order.
International buyers: Paypal is the only payment method accepted.
